Apple to support Malala's girls education campaign

In a new project, tech giant Apple’s Tim Cook and Pakistan’s Malala Yousufzai – world’s youngest Noble laureate – have partnered up to make education possible for every girl in the world.

The coalition has come as an extension of work already forwarded by Malala, where the exemplary woman advocates for equal rights and opportunity for girls for acquiring education.

Committed to finding the answer to achieve this unified goal, Tim Cook stated, “We are committing resources, and we are committing money and technology. 130 million girls is a lot of folks around the world and so this is a bold ambition. This is exactly what Apple loves to work on and is something that everybody is saying is impossible.”

The long-term philanthropist Cook announced on Monday that Apple will double the number of grants awarded to Malala’s Fund and extend programs to India and Latin America.

The objective is to provide secondary education to more than 100,000 girls.

Furthermore, Malala shared how she staunchly believes that every girl has an undeniable right to education, no matter how hard life becomes.

“That's just the way that I decided to live my life," Malala said. “When you go through such hardships in your life, you start building up resilience; you start building up this courage.”

Cook, when asked to describe Malala, couldn’t help but commend her bravery and dedication. “She has a rare trait of courage with a big C," he said. “My heroes in life were people with enormous courage, who were willing to do everything, including risking their lives, for their cause and purpose. She has done this at a very young age and it's just amazing."
