Even in a world that feels heavy, nature whispers hope. Grateful for quiet moments like this especially in the morning, standing among mountains, fields, and birdsong, reminded that beauty and peace still exist. #Hunza #peace

Just visited KADO in Hunza, years after I was on the governing board. Delighted to see, it's still a shining example of what inclusive, community-led development looks like: 💚 Empowering people with disabilities 🧵 Nurturing local arts and crafts 🌱 Promoting eco-friendly retail

When debt eats half the budget and education gets crumbs, what future are we financing? Only education can change the fate of this country — and millions of young Pakistanis are still waiting for that chance. Oh my Pakistan, young and female country, you deserve better.

Childhood should be safe, joyful, and full of promise. Change begins with courage, and these bold, committed young champions are leading the way. Grateful to MRC Balochistan, a brilliant Malala Fund partner, for standing tall for education and child rights.

As a student, I saw the system fail us. As a teacher, I felt it from within. I want to build accountability—with students, parents, teachers, and leaders. That’s why I travelled rivers and mountains from Ghanche to be here.” Samina is one of eight brave girls from four districts

Met my childhood friend Najma after 30 years. Life gave me education, she didn’t get the chance. But today, her daughter Alizeh becomes the first dental hygienist in their village. Education doesn’t just change lives, it transforms generations. #education #girls #hunza

Today I sat with religious & traditional leaders and civil society champions in Nigeria — united by a belief: girls’ education is not just a right, it’s a responsibility we all must uphold. When men stand with girls and follow their lead, positive change follows. Malala Fund
