A lifelong educationalist, I began my career teaching English at secondary level before focusing on children excluded from mainstream education. Following research in Zimbabwe, I founded CAMFED International to support and advance the education of rural girls in sub-Saharan Africa. The organisation has grown into six countries, working with Ministries of Education and an array of other partners to extend education beyond the secondary into the tertiary level as well as providing financial intelligence training and job creation programmes. CAMFED’s work is rooted in rural communities and credits its strength and success to the creative endeavours and resilience of these communities as well as the alumna of young women supported by CAMFED and now more that a quarter of a million strong.
