Reprieve

Organization

Reprieve uses the law to enforce the human rights of prisoners, from death row to Guantánamo Bay.

We investigate, we litigate and we educate, working on the frontline, providing legal support to prisoners unable to pay for it themselves. We promote the rule of law around the world, and secure each person’s right to a fair trial. And in doing so, we save lives.

Reprieve prioritises the cases of prisoners accused of the most extreme crimes, such as acts of murder or terrorism, as it is in such cases that human rights are most likely to be jettisoned or eroded. Reprieve focuses on cases involving the world’s most powerful governments, especially those that should be upholding the highest standards when it comes to fair trials.

Reprieve has 15 full-time staff in London, five Fellows in the USA, one Fellow in Pakistan and countless volunteers around the world. You can look at our organisational structure here, read more about individuals by following the links below.

Camfed

Organization

When you educate a girl in Africa, everything changes. She’ll be three times less likely to get HIV/AIDS, earn 25 percent more income and have a smaller, healthier family.

Education can change everything

In sub-Saharan Africa, 24 million girls can't afford to go to school. A girl may marry as young as 13 and has a one in 22 chance of dying in childbirth. One in six of her children will die before the age of five. Research shows if you educate a girl she’ll:

Earn up to 25 percent more and reinvest 90 percent in her family.

Be three times less likely to become HIV-positive.

Have fewer, healthier children who are 40 percent more likely to live past the age of five.

Since 1993, Camfed has fought poverty and AIDS by educating girls and empowering young women. More than 1,065,710 children in impoverished areas of Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Ghana and Malawi have benefited from our innovative education programs.

Investing in girls and women is likely to prevent inter-generational cycles of poverty and yield high economic and societal returns. —Ban Ki-Moon, United Nations Secretary-General

Our Approach

We believe every child has the right to an education. Camfed uses a community-based, holistic approach to bring about change in Africa. The girls we support are selected by the community as being the most in need. We don’t just provide her with books or school fees. We help her throughout her development, from her elementary school years until adulthood. Our package allows her to get into school, do well academically, and maximize the value of her education after graduation.

Provide long-term support

We provide school fees, supplies, uniforms—whatever is necessary—to support girls from elementary school through high school, college and professional schools.

Offer business training & small grants

Through our Seed Money Program, we help women learn how to manage money and help them launch small businesses.

Empower women

With the help of Cama, an association of 14,005 Camfed alumni and other African women, young women become leaders and bring change to their communities.
