Malala, Apple join hands to work for girls’ education

NEW YORK: Malala Girls Education Fund and computer giant Apple have teamed up to support girls’ education, Tech Crunch magazine reported on Monday, reports Dawn.com.

Founded by Malala Yousafzai and her father Ziauddin, the Fund aims to empower young girls and help them access the quality education they deserve.

Malala is due to speak at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday. With the support of Apple, the Fund expects to double the number of grants awarded through its Gulmakai Fund and launch its funding programmes in India and Latin America, with the goal of extending secondary education to more than 100,000 girls. Apple will also help the Malala Fund with technology, curriculum and education policy research.

“We believe that education is a great equalising force, and we share Malala Fund’s commitment to give every girl an opportunity to go to school,” Apple chief executive officer Tim Cook, who will join the Malala Fund leadership council, said in a press release, the magazine reported.
