Camfed Charity Christmas Formal



At Saturday's Christmas Formal we will be collecting donations for Camfed, this years JPC charity.
Camfed aims to eradicate poverty in Africa through the education of girls and empowerment of young women.

Camfed sponsors girls through primary and secondary education and offers young women training in business and peer health education.
Educating girls means they can support themselves, their families, and their communities – but it’s not just about getting a job:

Educated women are less likely to contract HIV/AIDS, or to die in childbirth.
The children of women who have received 5 years of primary education are 40% less likely to die before age 5.
There will be an opportunity at the end of term to make a donation to Camfed on your college bill.
Donation forms will be given out in pigeonholes towards the end of term. Please give generously: if every member of Pembroke gives just £5, this will pay for 5 years’ primary education for 48 girls.

More information is available from:


Please give generously on Saturday!
