Raising money for

CAMFED

Charity Registration No. 1029161

Educating girls and women is widely recognised as the single most powerful weapon in the fight against poverty and HIV/AIDS in Africa. Since 1993, the Campaign for Female Education (Camfed) has been supporting girls through school in some of the poorest rural areas of Zimbabwe, Zambia, Ghana, Tanzania and Malawi. More than 645,400 children have benefitted from Camfed's programme of educational support, helping them to leave behind a life of poverty. Find out more about Camfed's work at www.camfed.org.

My story

On November 1st I will not only try to run a sub 3 hour marathon in NYC I will above all be very proud to be able to run for something which makes the 26m and 200 feet (and everybody running faster than me) secondary. And while I will try to give my very best I do mean this literally. Supporting the education of girls in the developing world has not only proved to be highly effective way of promoting social and economic progress. The United Nations and other leading development institutions now believe that young women can play the single most important role in the struggle against poverty and political oppression. An organization which has done groundbreaking work to unlock the potential of girls by supporting their education in rural Africa and enables us to support this is Camfed. While as an economist I got convinced about Camfeds approach as a runner I can only express my admiration for the stories of the young women and their will to endure against all odds. If you also believe in their potential and the liberating- and multiplying force of education you can join me in investing in the school education of young women in rural Africa on November 1st. Thank you! Jan
