How Malala and her father Ziauddin are creating a network of education advocates to help girls learn

Malala Yousafzai is leading the fight for a more equal world by making sure all girls can go to school.
But her campaign for girls started small. When the Taliban invaded her home in Pakistan and banned girls from going to school, Malala and her father Ziauddin began to speak out. They challenged the extremists using the only resource they had: their voices.
Every day, educators and activists around the world fight for girls in their communities - like Malala and Ziauddin did. But too often they lack the funding or platform to increase their impact.
That’s why Malala Fund invests in local leaders. They understand the problems girls face in their communities - and how to solve them.
With funding, training and networking opportunities, Malala Fund gives our Education Champions the support their projects need to take off. Together, these advocates are generating progress in the countries where most girls are out of school.
Across communities and countries, Malala Fund’s Education Champions work together to change the policies and practices that hold girls back. At global events, Malala Fund opens doors so they can speak directly with presidents and prime ministers and tell them what girls in their communities need to learn.
When girls go to school, everyone benefits. Girls’ education lowers poverty rates, improves public health and reduces risks of wars. If every girl had 12 years of education, they could add up to 30 trillion dollars to the global economy.
Join Malala Fund in our fight for education and equality. Together, we can give every girl the opportunity to learn and lead.
