Malala Fund

Malala Fund is focused on helping girls go to school and raise their voices for the right to education.

When girls are educated, everyone benefits. There are many reasons girls do not continue their schooling including poverty or traditions that do not value girls learning. Girls may drop out to marry, because of violence in or around school, or due to cost. Often there are simply no schools for girls to go to, even if they want to continue to learn. Education is every girl’s right — that’s why Malala Fund fights for a world where every girl can complete 12 years of free, safe, quality education.

Inspired by co-founders Malala and Ziauddin Yousafzai, Malala Fund advocates — at local, national and international levels — for resources and policy changes needed to give all girls a secondary education. The girls have high goals for themselves — and Malala Fund has high expectations for leaders who can help them.

Malala Fund invests in developing country education leaders and frontline organizations — the people who best understand girls in their communities — in regions where most girls are missing out on secondary school. Malala Fund amplifies girls’ voices, believes girls should speak for themselves and tells leaders what they need to learn and achieve their potential. Malala Fund is building a movement of young education activists who, like Malala, speak truth to empower girls around the world.
