Camfed Launches Facebook Causes Contest

Camfed is a non-profit campaign for female education in Africa. They offer four stages of support which include:

* primary education;
* secondary education;
* economic empowerment; and
* leading change.

As an organization, they have done a tremendous amount of good for young women in Africa over the past year and are now soliciting help from the Facebook community. Thanks to a pair of anonymous donors, Camfed will receive up to $100,000 based on the amount of Facebook supporters and donations their page receives.

Additionally, one individual Facebook user who recruits the most members will receive a 9 day trip to Africa!

The benefits of contributing to this type of cause are priceless:

According to Camfed, educated African girls:

• Are 3 times less likely to be HIV positive
• Marry 3 years later & have healthier children
• Earn 25% more income & reinvest 90% back into their families
