In the Saturday, September 27th edition of the Financial Times, award-winning journalist Caroline Daniel weaves the policy-level debate on girls’ education and economics with real-life stories from Camfed’s work in Africa. Read her in-depth look at why girls’ education is the most powerful tool in the world today for eradicating poverty.
An excellent article which I hope will receive worldwide attention. It puts into historical context and perspective the importance of fostering women’s education in Africa. Charlie Bibby’s stunning cover portrait of Cindy of Zambia defines all that is good, positive and heart-rending about Camfed, all at the same time.
