CAMFED/ Mastercard Scholars Entrepreneurship Fund

CAMFED is a pan-African movement, revolutionizing how girls’ education is delivered. Through a gold-standard system of accountability to the young people and communities we serve, we have created a model that radically improves girls’ prospects of becoming independent, influential women. CAMFED Ghana has an ongoing 10-year partnership with the Mastercard Foundation called the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program. The partnership between the two organizations is underpinned by shared values and commitment to the provision of quality education and comprehensive support to academically-gifted young women in the rural communities within CAMFED’s operational regions.
