The Malala Fund

"They will not stop me. I will get my education if it is in home, school, or any place."
- Malala Yousafzai

In 2012, on 9 October, Malala Yousafzai (then aged 15) was shot in the head by the Taliban for her believe that all children have a right to education - and for daring to say it aloud. Using the pen name Gul Makai, Malala blogged about the ongoing fight for a girl's right to education. The humanitarian website Vital Voices established the Malala Fund to support the education of girls in Pakistan, girls who would otherwise be working as domestic labourers. You can visit the website here, where you can donate to the fund, and you can sign up for newsletters regarding the fund, as well as sending a message to Malala. Please visit, whether or not you can support the fund.

Thanks for reading!
