Who We Are
CGEF, formerly the CCLEF, has sponsored thousands of bright girls through secondary education since 1967. Without our help, these girls would not otherwise receive an education and their lives would be very different indeed. The charity’s founders, the Commonwealth Countries League (CCL), formed out of the suffrage in the 1920s, support our work with the help of the High Commissions in London through the annual Commonwealth Fair and other fundraising events.
Registered Charity Number 1048908.
