Malala Fund Malala Fund Malala Fund is an international, non-profit organization that fights for girls' education. It was founded by Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate, and her father, Ziauddin. The stated goal of the organization is to ensure 12 years of free, safe and quality education for every girl. The first contribution to Malala Fund in 2013 came from Angelina Jolie who gave a $200,000 personal donation, which was used to fund girls' education where Malala is from in Pakistan’s Swat Valley.

Malala Yousafzai A Levels; in August 2017, she was accepted to study Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE). Reception of Yousafzai in Pakistan is mostly negative. Yousafzai's opposition to Taliban policy makes her unpopular among Taliban sympathisers. A "Dawn" columnist alleges that she is scapegoated by the failing state government, and a journalist in "The Nation" wrote that Yousafzai is hated by "overzealous patriots" who are keen to deny oppression of women in the country. Yousafzai's statements conflict with the view that militancy in Pakistan is a result of Western interference, and conservatives and Islamic fundamentalists describe her ideology as "anti-Pakistan" and "anti-Islam".
