On 10th December, 2014 Malala became the first ever youngest person to be awarded the noble peace prize. The Pakistani born girl living in Swat, started with the small steps and a big dream to flourish the right of the children to get education, especially girls. But the burning ashes got the attention of the extremists who were not in favor of girls’ education. Despite the threats Malala continued to pursue her dream but on an unfortunate day the terror got with its evil wish and militants boarding her school shot her on the head along with two other girls. Luckily she survived the dramatic assault and made history. But the setback was not strong enough to shatter Malala’s dream in fact it provided her with the immense determination and fuel to work harder towards her goal. After she regained her health, she started to work with all her might to voice the right to get an education.
“One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world” (Malala Yousafzai)
She can be called as the voice of all those suppressed and deprived of their rights and an activist for female education. Her courageous actions were recognized globally at every forum where she gained endless support and were closely tracked by the world media. It’s been three years to the plight and Malala’s torch has given light to so many deserving torches.
“This award is for all those children who are voiceless, whose voices need to be heard,” she said. “I speak for them, and I stand up with them.” (Malala Yousafzai)
Female education is a global plea which is heard and supported globally. Yet a lot more than just support is required to help out all the Malala’s in our country and to provide them with the resources to fulfill their zeal and zest to acquire an education and to earn a place amongst the learned.
We at NUR Foundation and Fatima Memorial Hospital congratulate Malala for being the pride of the nation and pursuing what she risked her life for. Her achievement is unparalleled and unequaled. We follow her dream to educate all the girls and light the beacon of knowledge. We need all the support possible. Our organization is aiding with your assistance all those needy children who have the hunger to learn and succeed in order to be the part of the mainstream. But it is only possible with your generous support as each penny counts. So please donate and donate to educate!
