Zimbabwean wins Africa Education Medal

Murimirwa has dedicated her career to advancing girls’ education and women’s leadership through CAMFED, a grassroots NGO that tackles poverty and inequality.

A statement by T4 Education on Thursday said, “Having been one of the first girls supported by CAMFED to attend secondary school in Zimbabwe, she brings personal insight into the challenges girls face in accessing education.

“Under her leadership, CAMFED has implemented a proven model that enables marginalised girls to enroll in secondary school and thrive, ultimately graduating into secure livelihoods and leadership roles. This model focuses on engaging school communities to support the most disadvantaged girls, facilitating their transition to work or entrepreneurship, and partnering with governments to embed effective practices in national education systems.”

In her acceptance remarks, Murimirwa expressed gratitude for the recognition, dedicating the medal to the entire movement advocating for education equity. “Together, we’re raising the flag for a more equitable world,” she stated.

Currently operating in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Malawi, and Ghana, CAMFED collaborates with over 7,000 partner schools in underserved rural communities.
