Malala Yousafzai began the new year by announcing a major humanitarian grant focused on girls living through armed conflict.
The Nobel laureate revealed a $300,000 funding initiative aimed at supporting education and emergency relief efforts. The grant will benefit girls affected by the ongoing war in Gaza, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Malala shared the announcement through Instagram, identifying three grassroots organisations working directly within these conflict zones.
Each selected organisation is actively providing education, access to mental health support, and lifesaving aid for women and children. Alongside the announcement, Malala issued a strong message criticising global leaders for their inaction on children’s rights. She urged governments worldwide to show courage by protecting girls’ right to learn amid devastating wars.
