CAMFED IMPACT REPORT Recognizing Cama’s exceptional progress in amplifying the benefits of education, Camfed launched a three-year Leadership and Enterprise Program in Zambia in 2009, designed to extend young women’s leadership. This program is taking the development of young women’s entrepreneurial skills to new levels and has underscored the great economic value of girls’ education to their communities. The first 150 young entrepreneurs have developed commercial and social enterprises, which include a pre-school for 68 vulnerable children, and a farming business that is creating local employment and diversifying the range of local foods. An overwhelming 95% of those supported through education by Camfed, who are now earning an income, say it is they who decide how to spend it. Given the international evidence that women spend a far higher proportion of their income on the family than do men, this statistic has profound social implications. The Leadership and Enterprise Program has also established one of the first IT centers in rural Zambia, managed by specially trained Cama members. These young women IT leaders train their community in basic IT skills, bringing modern communications technology to an audience that has never before had access. They also train other young women on the program, and facilitate professional contact among the women and with international mentors. The Cama network of motivated young women has emerged as an extraordinary resource, and Camfed intends to roll out this model of rural IT centers along with other technological advances across its international network. Cama began by meeting a critical need for practical and social support for girls at a vulnerable time when they are leaving secondary school; it has also become a unique platform for raising the social and economic status of young women in rural Africa by their visibility and recognition. Its members are well-respected role models who are leading their communities in each step of this social transformation by their commitment to community philanthropy, economic success and advocacy. Some of Cama’s pioneering leaders are now occupying senior posts within the Camfed organization: Angeline Murimirwa (née Mugwendere), for example, is Executive Director of Camfed Zimbabwe and a member of Camfed’s international Executive team. 18
$ $ INTRODUCTION Through Cama, young women’s voices are heard locally and internationally as they participate in public dialogues, and join an array of confidence-building forums. Innovative film production programs in Ghana and Zambia are training women in filmmaking, radio broadcasting and journalism. Forty-five women have produced 141 broadcasts and films, raising awareness of painful social issues such as child labor, domestic violence and the gendered power dynamics that leave so many women vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. Camfed’s award-winning documentary, Where the Water Meets the Sky, chronicles the transformative impact that such advocacy has had on the lives of young women filmmakers in Zambia and their community. Penelope Machipi, one of the young Zambian women filmmakers, won the 2009 Goldman Sachs Fortune Global Women Leaders Award in recognition of her courage and achievements.
