Non-profit advocate for girls' education
Malala Fund is an international, non-profit organization that advocates for girls' education . It was co-founded by Malala Yousafzai , the Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate, and her father, Ziauddin .[1] [2] [3] The stated goal of the organization is to ensure 12 years of free, safe and quality education for every girl.[4] As of July 2020[update] , the organization has 48 staff and supports 58 advocates working across Afghanistan , Brazil , Ethiopia , India , Lebanon , Nigeria , Pakistan and Turkey .[5] [6]
History [ edit ]
The first contribution to Malala Fund in 2013 came from Angelina Jolie who gave a $200,000 personal donation, which was used to fund girls' education where Malala is from in Pakistan 's Swat Valley .[7] [8]
In 2014, Malala Fund helped build an all-girls secondary school in rural Kenya[9] and provided school supplies and continued education in Pakistan for children fleeing conflict in North Waziristan and the floods of 2014 .[10]
In 2015, when the government of Sierra Leone closed schools due to the Ebola epidemic , Malala Fund bought radios and created classrooms for 1,200 marginalized girls to continue their education.[11] [12] Building on Malala's advocacy for girls in Nigeria ,[13] Malala Fund pledged full scholarships to Chibok schoolgirls freed from the abduction by Boko Haram to complete their secondary education.[14] On 12 July 2015, her 18th birthday, Malala announced funding through Malala Fund of a secondary school in the Bekaa Valley , Lebanon , near the Syrian border, for Syrian refugees.[15] [16]
In 2016, Malala visited Dadaab Refugee Camp for her birthday and attended the graduation of refugee girls from a mentorship program on leadership and life skills supported by Malala Fund.[17] In December 2016, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation committed $4 million to help Malala Fund launch the Education Champion Network to support education champions in developing countries.[18] [19]
In 2017, Malala Fund significantly expanded investment projects that Newsweek described as, "education advocacy programs run by local people — the kind Yousafzai and her father led when they lived in Pakistan — and will disburse up to $10 million a year over the next decade."[20] New grants included a project in Afghanistan to support the recruitment and training of teachers to fill spots in the country's overcrowded classrooms[21] [22] and supporting local activists in Nigeria to campaign for increasing public education from 9 years to 12 years.[23]
In 2018, Apple Inc. partnered with Malala Fund to fund expansion to India and Latin America and provide technology, curriculum assistance and policy research with a goal of educating more than 100,000 girls.[24] [25] [26] [27] [28] In addition, a connection will be established in Brazil with the Apple Developer Academy.[29]
Programs [ edit ]
Education Champion Network [ edit ]
Malala Fund supports local advocates and programs to advance girls' secondary education around the world.[30] The current priority countries for Malala Fund are Afghanistan , Brazil , Ethiopia , India , Lebanon , Nigeria , Pakistan and Turkey .[31] [32] One of the champions for Pakistan is Gulalai Ismail , chairperson of Aware Girls an organisation with which Yousafzai trained in 2011.[33] [34]
Research and advocacy [ edit ]
Malala, Ziauddin, Malala Fund staff, members of the Education Champion Network and young education activists participate in conferences and meet with political leaders to advocate for girls' education.[35] [36] [37] [38] The advocacy goals are to increase funding for girls' education[39] and to remove the barriers keeping girls from school, such as early marriage , child labor , conflict and gender discrimination .[40] Malala Fund has conducted research on the impact of girls' secondary education in collaboration with Brookings Institution , World Bank and Results for Development .
In June 2018, Malala Fund helped secure a $2.9 billion commitment for girls' education from G7 countries and the World Bank .[41] [42]
Assembly [ edit ]
In July 2018, Malala Fund launched Assembly, a digital publication with stories by girls, for girls.[43] [44] Malala Fund won the 2020 Webby Award for Email Newsletter in the category Web.[45]
In popular culture [ edit ]
The organization was featured in the 2015 American documentary film , He Named Me Malala , and Malala's autobiography, I Am Malala .
