Malala Yousafzai is a young Pakistani activist. As a young girl, she spoke out against the ruling Taliban who didn’t want girls to go to school, and it nearly got her killed. Malala’s remarkable story of survival and healing led her to start the Malala Fund to provide more girls with access to education. She went on to become the youngest person ever to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
