Girls just want to learn, play and live freely 💖

It’s a special feeling to celebrate your birthday in the place you were born, especially when you’ve been away from home for so long. I am grateful to Pakistan’s government and security officers for giving me that opportunity last week. I met educators and activists who are breaking down the barriers between children and their education. Artists who imagine the future and remind us that our best days are ahead. Girls determined to pursue their dreams, from the football pitch to the classroom. My heart is full of gratitude for everyone who made this trip possible, but even more so for the people and organisations who are working to turn every girl’s right to learn into her reality.

The incredible team at INARA provides frontline relief to these children & their families. We visited homes, a mental health support centre, a school & a hospital where INARA helps injured, displaced people become more independent and build dignified lives. INARA staff told me that children show up to school on time every day, eager to learn and participate in mental health programmes like equine therapy. A teenage girl told me that when she came to Egypt she was so angry & in shock that she couldn’t speak for months. She built a connection with a horse, being able to take care of an animal helped her open up to people again. Malala Fund has supported INARA since last year, and today we’re announcing a new $100,000 grant to continue their work in Egypt & Gaza.
