In 2014, Kamm was selected as the Tanzanian Woman of the Year, for her work in education. She was also featured in an episode on the Tanzanian television program, Malkia wa Nguvu, translated in English as Strong Queen, which features women who have achieved success.

As a result, she started her own parallel school, the Kilimanjaro Academy, for girls who dropped out of government schools because of pregnancy. She also founded the Mama Clementine Foundation in 1988, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing education to under-privilege girls.
In the early years of her career, she taught at Machame Girls Secondary School, and Rugambwa Secondary School. She then became headmistress of Weruweru Secondary School, a public girls school in the Kilimanjaro region, leading the school from 1970 to 1992.

In 1967, the government of Tanzania issued a policy urging participatory pedagogy and practical education in schools.
