Angie Murimirwa: From hiding in the bathroom to Time's most influential people list
Briefly

Angeline Murimirwa, listed among Time magazine's most influential people, is a pivotal figure in education for girls through her work with CAMFED. This charity, which she leads, provides scholarships to girls in five African nations, ensuring access to education. Her personal story, rising from a disadvantaged background to become a global leader, underscores the importance of her mission. As highlighted by Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai, Angie's efforts address the barriers preventing girls from education, making her a vital advocate for change and progress in society.
"Educating girls is the foundation of healthy and strong societies. But in many places, the barriers to attending school are mounting, depriving girls of the resources to choose their own futures. Few people are fighting to solve this crisis as tenaciously and effectively as Angeline."
"Angie herself, the daughter of Zimbabwean subsistence farmers, was one of those girls. Without a CAMFED scholarship, she says she would have dropped out after primary school."
