Partners
Camfed works with a broad coalition of partners from every field including international development, law, finance, public relations and marketing. We are active members of campaigning groups working for the realisation of the right of every child to education.
Our partnerships with donors include the statutory, foundation and corporate sectors and we receive gifts from a broad base of individual givers. Camfed maintains high standards of reporting which has resulted in long term donor relationships. The broad base also gives Camfed a high degree of sustainability, and has resulted in substantial income growth over recent years. We welcome new partnerships.
Thank you to all our partners for enabling us to secure the right to education for many more children in Africa and begin a cycle of change that will resonate down the generations. We highlight here a selection of our partnerships that show their variety and different types of engagement.
