$1.5 Million Donation from Malala Foundation for Girls’ Education in Afghanistan

Bayan News – The Malala Yousafzai Foundation, an education activist and Nobel laureate, has donated $1.5 million to support girls in Afghanistan.

The Malala Foundation announced on Friday, June 14th, that this donated amount will be allocated to 13 organizations that are active in the field of girls’ education in Afghanistan.

Malala Yousafzai, in a video message, pointed to the continued ban on girls’ education in Afghanistan, stating that millions of women and girls in the country live under the shadow of “gender apartheid” that prevents them from going to school and public places.

In a statement, the foundation said that this aid package is focused on supporting girls in digital education and promoting efforts to identify “gender apartheid” as an international law.

The Taliban have kept school doors closed to female students above the sixth grade for the past three years.
