Every girl deserves the opportunity to learn and choose her own future. Malala Fund will continue to stand with our partners, who are civil society leaders and girls, by funding their critical work and amplifying their voices. "There are so many organisations on the frontline, who are providing immediate and urgent support to people. [They are now] impacted... and it includes women, children and girls." — @Malala

At the National Conference on Girls’ Education and Empowerment, Nigeria's Minister of Budget and Economic Planning pledged to fund girls’ education and address barriers faced by girls in different regions of the country. But commitments are only as strong as the actions behind them. Now, leaders must budget for girls’ needs and be transparent about how the money is spent. More via @voiceofnigeria at
