PICS : ZIMBA ON DUCHESS OF SUSSEX PANEL

Prominent Zimbabwean campaigner, Angeline Murimirwa has today joined the Duchess of Sussex on a star-studded panel discussion hosted by the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust in London to mark International Women’s Day.

Murimirwa is the executive director of the Campaign for Female Education (CAMFED) in Africa and co-founder of CAMA, CAMFED’s alumnae, a powerful pan-African network of young women leaders, now numbering 120,000 members across Zimbabwe, Ghana, Tanzania, Zambia and Malawi.

Murimirwa was one of the first beneficiaries of bursary support from CAMFED and so represents CAMA’s deep lived experience of poverty and the threat this poses to girls and young women in rural communities.

Now she oversees the work of CAMFED across five countries in Africa and works alongside the UK based Chief Executive, Lucy Lake, in driving forward the vision, mission and strategy of CAMFED and positioning CAMA as a powerful force for development.
