A Podcast of One's Own with Julia Gillard

Angie Murimirwa on the transformative power of education


Listen Later

Angie Murimirwa personifies the transformative power of education.


Growing up in Zimbabwe, Angie was one of the first girls to receive support from the Campaign for Female Education (CAMFED) to go to secondary school.


Angie is now the organisation’s CEO.


In this episode Julia - who is Patron of CAMFED - and Angie discuss the huge barriers to education that many girls still face, and the impact finishing school has on not only an individual, but also their family and community.


They also talk about the alumni association Angie helped set up, that’s now several hundred-thousand women strong and has become a powerful network of women leaders across Africa.
