Nicholas Kristof chose CAMFED as the 2020 Kristof Holiday Impact Prize Grand Prize winner, and is urging his readers to donate to CAMFED to send more girls in Africa to school. In his conversation with Angeline Murimirwa, CAMFED Executive Director - Africa, Nick completely surprised Angie when he sprung the news on her!

Their conversation:

Nick: "Angie, I have good news for you and I think something of a surprise - CAMFED is not only one of the 3 winners that I’ve chosen, but it is the grand prize winner. So there will be extra support for all the extraordinary efforts that you and your colleagues make to get girls in school and I chose you as the grand prize winner because you and I both believe that the way to change the world is to get more girls in school! So thanks for what you do."

Angie, "I don’t know what to say... This is the best news ever! Thank you so much, Nick, this means a lot. This is a dream come true, especially at a time like this. Thank you - thank you so much! And I like that it’s not just getting our news out there, it’s also keeping girls’ education firmly on the global agenda, especially at a time like this. Thank you so much, I don’t know, I’m overwhelmed!
