Give Afghan Girls School! Malala was shot in the head by the Taliban 9 years ago, because she spoke out for Afghan girls to be allowed to go to school. Malala survived. She has since received the Nobel Peace Prize for her work. Last week she received her 6th surgery. We are all shocked by the events currently happening in Afghanistan and our hearts go out to all the Girls, Mothers, Fathers & brothers whose lives will dramatically change for the worse in the coming years. A sense of helplessness is what remains. It felt appropriate to reactivate the ‘go-fund -me’ page I created six years ago on the PCT, to raise funds for the Malala Fund.  Thanks to all your kind donations, we raised $5000 in 2016. Let’s do the same again now and make it $10.000 and focus on good, as Malala will need all the help she can get to start more schools for girls in the many refugee-camps that will only grow in Afghanistan’s neighbouring countries. I pledge to donate $500 ($1,- for every km on the Kungsleden) and hope you will join me with whatever you can. I will make a painting for all those who wish to donate. (please send me your name and address in a DM, and I will send it when I am back home). Your donation will automatically be transferred to the Malala Fund. The Malala Fund is a registered charity in the U.S. and U.K. Donate here>

Seven-year-old Riley loves school and learning. This year for Hanukkah, she received a globe from her aunt and uncle.  Over winter break, we created a project for her. Each day she would spin the globe and learn about whatever country she landed on.

The first day, Riley landed on The Gambia in Africa. While learning about this country, Riley saw a picture of a classroom there, and was upset by the condition of it. Through our discussion, Riley learned that not all children, and especially not all girls, have access to the same educational opportunities as her.  

Riley was inspired by what she learned and wants to help girls all over the world receive an education. We looked up different organizations and decided on Malala Fund. 

More information about Malala Fund: Founded by student and Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai, Malala Fund champions every girl's right to 12 years of free, safe, quality education. With more than 130 million girls out of school today, we are breaking down the barriers that hold them back. Help give all girls the opportunity to learn and lead.

Want to join Riley in making a difference? She's raising money to benefit Malala Fund, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to Riley and our family.

If you know me, you know that women and girl's empowerment is something that is near and dear to my heart. There are more than 130 million girls out of school today, but I believe that all girls everywhere have a right to education.

For my 25th birthday, I hope to raise $2,500 for the Malala Fund. If you're one of the amazing people who would've shown up to my birthday dinner or gotten me a gift for my birthday, it would mean the world to me if you chipped in to support Malala Fund's work instead. If 100 people donate $25, we can raise $2,500 in support of an organization that supports so many girls all around the world. I will also be matching donations up to the first $1,000 (which means that your $25 donation would actually amount to $50!). Any donation will help make an impact; thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

Thank you for your support!
