Hi, Robin here,
I am here to tell you about the Malala Fund.
What is it, what do they do?
Well according to their website
Malala Fund's goal is to enable girls to complete
12 years of safe, quality education so that
they can achieve their potential and be positive
change-makers in their families and communities.
We work with partners all over the world helping
to empower girls and amplify their voices;
we invest in local education leaders and programmes;
and we advocate for more resources for education
and safe schools for every child.
Did you know that over 60 million girls in
the world are out of school.
31 million of them are primary school aged.   
I just want to repeat that over 60 million
girls are missing out on education because
they have to work,or they are married early,
they lack access to school facilities, or
they have to care for younger siblings, denying
them their fundamental right to education.
malala.org is their website and I ask that
you check it out, because is explains everything,
better then I could ever, but basically the
fund has projects in Pakistan, where they
are working to reduce barriers to secondary
schooling for girls. Nigeria, where they are
creating opportunities for adolescent girls
to be educated, including through alternative
learning programmes for out-of-school and
married girls. Kenya where they invest in
secondary education and information and communication
technology training programs to prepare low
income girls for 21st century jobs.
Sierra Leone where they support a radio-based
educational program for adolescent girls during
the Ebola crisis and helping Syrian refugees
by improving access to quality education for
Syrian refugees is a high priority for the
Malala Fund.
Malala Yousafzai risked her life advocating
for education rights. So I ask you, this project
for awesome, chooses the Malala fund, so that
one day, education is a right for everyone,
not just a privilege for the few.
. And I, well Jess, will see you tomorrow
for this weeks Robin Month video. Until then,
bye
