This 'Time icon' of 2025 is serious about her work and funny enough to do stand up
Briefly

Angeline Murimirwa, also known as Angie, has garnered recognition as one of Time magazine's most influential people due to her leadership role at CAMFED, a charity dedicated to educating girls in Africa. Originating from a humble background, Angie credits her success to a CAMFED scholarship that enabled her to escape poverty.

Notably, Malala Yousafzai champions Angie's work, emphasizing the vital role of education in empowering girls and building strong societies. Angie continues to inspire on a global stage, demonstrating the impact of education access.
