Ann Cotton, Founder and President of Camfed, is the 2014 WISE Prize for Education laureate. During a special address at WISE 2014, Ms. Cotton took the audience on a journey through a girl's life in rural Africa that has no chances of escaping poverty for us to see what it means to be excluded from education and the chances of leading a better life. Poverty left little choice for communities to improve the situation. This is where Ann Cotton's initiative Camfed started: partnering with poor families and "transforming the desire for girl's education into reality". Camfed’s programs are implemented across 5085 partner schools in 115 rural districts of Zimbabwe, Zambia, Ghana, Tanzania and Malawi and are owned and run by the communities.
