The documentary film "He named me Malala is a deeply touching story of an ordinary Pakistan girl who rose against all odds to become the most influential youngster on the globe. Its also a story of a proud father and daughter, who have drawn strength from each other in times of unimaginable pain and adversity. Its a story that many women can relate irrespective of the extreme experiences.
Being a performing artist who is passionate about the rights of women, I am privilege to be part of Malala Project happening in Kenya. The GoDown Art Center which is a hub of Kenyan diverse creative arts and media has partnered with the Malala Foundation with an aim of projecting girl child education to the disenfranchised community.
Co-founded
by Malala and Ziauddin Yousafzai, the foundations' goals and vision
is to enable as many girls as possible to complete a 12year of safe
quality education so as to maximize on their potential and be
positive change makers in their families and the larger community.
The
project seeks to amplify the girls voices giving them a platform to
connect with each other and ultimately stand together with the girl
child in their endeavours to pursue education. The Malala fund is
working to ensure that the economically marginalized girls can take
advantage of this trend.
