With Apple’s support, the Malala Fund expects to double the grants provided under the Gulmakai Network and to further extend funding programs around the world.
Apple will help Malala Fund by assisting with technology, curriculum and research. It will also help develop policies that the fund can use to help girls and get them the attention they require.
“Through both their innovations and philanthropy, Apple has helped educate and empower people around the world. I am grateful that Apple knows the value of investing in girls and is joining Malala Fund in the fight to ensure all girls can learn and lead without fear,” according to Malala Yousafzai.
Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple is also going to be joining the Malala Fund leadership council.
“We believe that education is a great equalizing force, and we share Malala Fund’s commitment to give every girl an opportunity to go to school,” according to Apple CEO Tim Cook.
The Fund is currently operating programs in Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Turkey, Lebanon and Nigeria.
