Malala, the international symbol of the fight for girls’ education, arrived in her native country under Malala Fund’s flood relief efforts, as the fund supported an emergency grant to support relief efforts and the well-being of girls and young women in Pakistan.
The Nobel laureate, who now lived in Britain, returned to the South Asian nation 10 years after she was attacked by the Taliban for her advocacy for girls’ education.
