Crisis in Afghanistan
In August 2021 the Taliban shut school gates for millions of Afghan girls — robbing them of not just an education but also their futures. As the crisis in Afghanistan continues to unfold, Malala Fund is committed to amplifying the voices of young women speaking out for their right to learn and lead.
If these stories inspire you, be sure to sign Malala’s petition calling on leaders to urgently get millions of Afghan girls back in school. You can also contribute to our Afghanistan fund where all proceeds support our work in Afghanistan.

Why young people are choosing to support us:
“We are twin brothers who have always believed that solving the problems of our world depends on ALL girls getting a full education. We have been working to support Malala Fund ever since we read Malala’s illustrated book “Malala’s Magic Pencil” when we were in kindergarten. Even back then, we thought that Malala had a magical power to use her voice to give hope and inspire girls around the world and help world leaders understand that girls’ education is critical. After we met Malala, we also realized that we could use our own voices to help. We are so thrilled to be working with Malala and have opportunities to speak at schools and in our community about the important mission and work of Malala Fund. We hope to inspire more people to speak up for what they believe in. Our goal is to keep using our voice and take action in different ways so that all girls are able to go to school, and not one girl is left behind.”

“I care about education because it is a tool that opens up doors for us to turn our dreams into reality. An educated community sees the world from diverse perspectives and fights for what is right.”
— Jeniffer Lemos Mauldin
“Education is essential to me because it is vital to empowerment. Knowledge can never be taken away, and it will only open doors to employment, higher standards of health, and political opportunities. Most importantly, education gives girls and women the resources to combat inequality and an opportunity to contribute their skills towards the overall betterment of society.”
— Natalie Molina
“I support the Malala Fund because it is a beacon of hope to young girls around the world, and quite possibly, the coolest organization ever to exist. The Malala Fund amplifies the voices of so many passionate girls and creates real changes on the ground with equally passionate educators. I’m so lucky to be involved with the Malala Fund and am beyond excited to continue my support for the organization!”
- Heidi Nam

“Education has to be a right for all children. It is the best inheritance that we can offer our next generations in order to have a better world for them.”
— Alma Rendon
“I care about education because knowledge is power and it will help me understand the perspectives of others. Education should never be catered towards a specific skin color, race, or gender. Everyone needs to learn.”
— Kayla Greene
