The tech giant said that it will help Malala Fund scale its organization by assisting with technology, curriculum, and research into policy changes needed to help girls everywhere attend school and complete their education. Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, will also join the Malala Fund leadership council.

 

Since 2013, Malala Fund has been working in partnership with other organizations, the private sector, and governments around the world to realize every girl's right to 12 years of free, safe, quality education.

"My dream is for every girl to choose her own future," said Malala Yousafzai.

She said, "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."

"We believe that education is a great equalizing force, and we share Malala Fund's commitment to giving every girl an opportunity to go to school," CEO Tim Cook said in a statement.

"Yousafzai is a courageous advocate for equality. She's one of the most inspiring figures of our time, and we are honored to help her extend the important work she is doing to empower girls around the world," Cook further said.

The fund's Gulmakai Network currently supports programs in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Nigeria.

With an estimated 130 million girls out of school, the importance of their work is increasingly essential.
