Growing
up in Pakistan’s Swat Valley, Malala Yousafzai witnessed how
dangerous it can be for girls to go to school—and how much they lose if they’re
denied the opportunity.
After
being attacked by the Taliban for speaking out against its ban on girls’
education, she co-founded the Malala Fund to help girls get 12 years
of safe, free, and quality schooling.
Today,
the fund has programs in Pakistan, Nigeria, Kenya, Sierra
Leone, and countries hosting Syrian refugees, where it starts schools, invests
in educational institutions, and provides grants for girls. Here’s a look at
some of the work the nonprofit is doing.
On
February 29, the documentary He Named Me Malala will have its
television premiere on the National Geographic Channel at 8 p.m. Eastern/7
p.m. Central. (The Channel partnered with Fox Searchlight Pictures on the
release of the documentary.) You can support girls' education by

回覆刪除I think Malala is a humble and influential girl. Although she was shot in the head, she still wanted to help other people who were in need. A fund set up in her name helps children in education around the world. Her actions have had a significant impact on the future world.
