Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) have engaged in the provision of fundamental socio-economic support aimed at improving education provision in the global south. This study was motivated by the understanding that education is a vital tool for developing both individuals and societies, and that NGOs had been working in many sectors, basic education exclusively. Providing education for all children, specifically in primary and secondary schools, has been a focus of many Governmental and NGOs. The study examines the contribution of the Campaign for Female Education (CAMFED) on vulnerable girls’ performance in Tanzania secondary schools. The study employed qualitative and quantitative approaches under a case study design to examine the contributions of CAMFED in selected five community secondary schools in Kilombero district where CAMFED has operated since 2006. Although CAMFED operates in many districts, beneficiaries in Kilombero conceivably possess a vast majority. Simple random and purposive sampling techniques were used to select 120 respondents whereas questionnaires, interviews and documentary review were used to collect relevant data. The data were analyzed through content analysis and descriptive statistics. The findings show that the performance of sponsored vulnerable girls was better compared to the non-sponsored vulnerable girls. This implies that the services provided by CAMFED contribute to the improved performance of vulnerable girls. Furthermore, the government should closely cooperate with private organizations to provide education to its citizens on the importance of investing in education for their children.
