Applications are now open for funding from the Malala Fund Girls Programme.
Malala Fund supports feminist and women-led movements, groups and organisations addressing the barriers preventing girls and young women from completing their education.
The organisation, through the programme, gives girls the tools they need to advocate for education and equality in their communities and a platform for the world to hear their voices.
By supporting youth activists, investing in local organisations and amplifying the voices of young women, Malala Fund is creating a world where girls have the agency to address the barriers standing in the way of their dreams.
