- Posted on Friday 27 March 2009 - 22:35Deo Simba, VoicesofAfrica mobile reporter in Dar es Salaam, TanzaniaEducation helps to liberate women in many ways. Once a girl is educated, she is already empowered to bring about positive change in her own life and that of the society surrounding her. Camfed Tanzania is devoted to eradicating poverty through girls' education and empowerment.Loading video...Under Camfed, there are already several success stories, but the journey is not without hurdles here and there. We listen to players as they narrate their own stories.
There are challenges that Camfed Tanzania faces in implementing its activities: 1. Drop out from school of girls they support - due to pregnancies and other reasons; 2. Poor infrastructures that make monitoring difficult, especially during the rain season when travelling to remote areas is a problem as roads become unpassable; and cheating by some well-do-to families as they attempt to have their children get Camfed support, thus, denying the chance to those who really need it.
