The Malala Fund - A Journey to Give All Women the Right to an Education
These posters were created for a college class project, of which I strive to showcase the honorable and enlightening endeavors of the Malala Fund, a nonprofit that focuses on the fight for women's right to education.
If you are able to, I urge you to read the testimonies of the brilliant women who have benefitted from the Malala Fund and spend time researching ways we can all promote and take up the mantle of assisting these women in their journey on their website: https://malala.org
“Malala and [her father] Ziauddin Yousafzai founded Malala Fund in 2013 to champion every girl’s right to 12 years of free, safe, quality education.
Malala Fund invests in education advocates and activists who are challenging the policies and practices that prevent girls from going to school in their communities. Traditional approaches aren’t cutting it.
At this moment, nearly 130 million girls are out of school. Even more are in school but not learning. Current rates of progress indicate that we’re still 100 years away from education for all girls.

Inspired by Malala and Ziauddin’s activist roots, Malala Fund believes that local educators and advocates provide the greatest insight, innovation and energy needed to address barriers that keep girls out of school in their communities.
Through their Education Champion Network, they invest in activist’s work so they can scale their efforts and leverage their collective power to create broader change to make it easier for all girls to learn.
Girl Programme gives girls the tools they need to advocate for education and equality in their communities and a platform for the world to hear their voices. By supporting youth activists, investing in local organisations and amplifying the voices of young women, Malala Fund is creating a world where girls have the agency to address the barriers standing in the way of their dreams.
Social norms can influence attitudes and policies that shape girls’ opportunities to learn. Through programming and advocacy with local partners, we’re challenging the beliefs, behaviours and legislation that prevent girls from going to school and learning on equal terms with boys.
‘We are realistic about the work ahead. We know there are no straight lines or overnight solutions to getting all girls in school and learning.
By 2025, we want to see a substantial increase in well-educated girls in the countries where we work, improved and better-financed education systems and communities that offer girls equal opportunities to learn and actively support their ambitions.’” - malala.org
