Madison Powell is fundraising
Building Future Leaders, One Girl at a Time
We are a group of empowered women creating a GoFundMe supporting the education of the future of young girls in Ethiopia, whose voices are limited due to barriers. 64.21 million girls are affected by this lack of education, which is about 90% of the population. The absence of representation and socio-cultural factors, including displacement, disrupts girls' potential for the future.

By decreasing resource scarcity, we can improve important tools such as literacy rates and skills needed for the future. Developing an education for these young girls in Ethiopia would also help reduce poverty, improve health, and promote gender equality in the society. Encouraging education as an essential part of the community will embrace the power held within adolescent girls.

Our $500 funding goal goes towards resources and supplies, including writing utensils and core curriculum textbooks. This funding will also go toward classroom equipment, from desks to projectors and screens for digital learning. We will fuel and support girls’ education in Ethiopia through a non-profit organization, The Malala Fund. Malala formed this nonprofit to fight for “every girl's right to 12 years of free, safe, and quality education”. Together, we can make a difference. Join us in helping shape the future of one girl at a time. Your generosity has the power to transform lives.

CMOs Give Back: Supporting Girls Education with Malala Fund
Our CMOs Give Back initiative has generated nearly $100,000 for a wide variety of worthy causes over the past four years.

This month we're focused on girls education.

Today nearly 120 million girls are out of school. As they get older, more girls drop out of school. Girls in low-income countries drop out at particularly high rates.

Malala Fund works to secure 12 years of free, safe, quality education for all girls so they can learn and lead without fear. They focus on secondary school, typically grades 7–12, when gender discrimination increasingly affects adolescent girls’ futures.

Completing secondary school opens up opportunities for girls to make their own life choices, allowing them to reach their fullest potential.

Eleni Piniros is fundraising
Beads for Malala, Support Girl Education & the Malala Fund
Hello, my name is Eleni Piniros, and I am a student at Edgemont High School in Scarsdale, New York. I started a club at my school over a year ago called Beads for Malala, inspired by the Malala Fund.

The Malala Fund aims to give girls the right to a secondary education throughout the world. The Malala Fund uses the money raised to invest in education advocates and activists fighting against policies preventing girls from receiving an education in their local communities. This movement inspired me since I am luckily a girl who can attend school every day.

My club, Beads for Malala, is a high school organization. Every month we come together to make bracelets and sell them at our school. In addition to selling bracelets, we hold local bake sales. Bake and bracelet sales are a great way to unite my community and create awareness for the sake of a good cause.

Because of the importance of this issue, with the help of my community, I was able to create an assembly on October 11th, The International Day of the Girl. The goal of the assembly was to raise awareness around my school about the importance of girls having the right to receive an education. I connected with Psychologist Dr. Barbara Kapetanakes who kindly spoke about girl empowerment, the importance of an education, and how having an education affects female earning power and the ability to make choices and have more options throughout life.

I hope to expand the scope of my efforts and create positive change. All girls having a right to an education is extremely important to me because it pains me that not all girls have the ability to go to school and create a better life.

Please share this fundraiser with anyone you know who feels strongly about girls having equal access to an education.

All money donated will be directly sent to the Malala Fund, fighting for girls to have the right to education worldwide. Please help me to support this important cause. Any donations are deeply appreciated. Thank you!

Support Malala Fund Girls Schools!
Give Afghan Girls School! Malala was shot in the head by the Taliban 9 years ago, because she spoke out for Afghan girls to be allowed to go to school. Malala survived. She has since received the Nobel Peace Prize for her work. Last week she received her 6th surgery. We are all shocked by the events currently happening in Afghanistan and our hearts go out to all the Girls, Mothers, Fathers & brothers whose lives will dramatically change for the worse in the coming years. A sense of helplessness is what remains. It felt appropriate to reactivate the ‘go-fund -me’ page I created six years ago on the PCT, to raise funds for the Malala Fund. Thanks to all your kind donations, we raised $5000 in 2016. Let’s do the same again now and make it $10.000 and focus on good, as Malala will need all the help she can get to start more schools for girls in the many refugee-camps that will only grow in Afghanistan’s neighbouring countries. I pledge to donate $500 ($1,- for every km on the Kungsleden) and hope you will join me with whatever you can. I will make a painting for all those who wish to donate. (please send me your name and address in a DM, and I will send it when I am back home). Your donation will automatically be transferred to the Malala Fund. The Malala Fund is a registered charity in the U.S. and U.K. Donate here>

Riley Ozan is fundraising
Help educate girls around the world

Seven-year-old Riley loves school and learning. This year for Hanukkah, she received a globe from her aunt and uncle. Over winter break, we created a project for her. Each day she would spin the globe and learn about whatever country she landed on.

The first day, Riley landed on The Gambia in Africa. While learning about this country, Riley saw a picture of a classroom there, and was upset by the condition of it. Through our discussion, Riley learned that not all children, and especially not all girls, have access to the same educational opportunities as her.

Riley was inspired by what she learned and wants to help girls all over the world receive an education. We looked up different organizations and decided on Malala Fund.

More information about Malala Fund: Founded by student and Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai, Malala Fund champions every girl's right to 12 years of free, safe, quality education. With more than 130 million girls out of school today, we are breaking down the barriers that hold them back. Help give all girls the opportunity to learn and lead.

Want to join Riley in making a difference? She's raising money to benefit Malala Fund, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to Riley and our family.

Indira Pranabudi is fundraising
Indira's Birthday Fundraiser
If you know me, you know that women and girl's empowerment is something that is near and dear to my heart. There are more than 130 million girls out of school today, but I believe that all girls everywhere have a right to education.

For my 25th birthday, I hope to raise $2,500 for the Malala Fund. If you're one of the amazing people who would've shown up to my birthday dinner or gotten me a gift for my birthday, it would mean the world to me if you chipped in to support Malala Fund's work instead. If 100 people donate $25, we can raise $2,500 in support of an organization that supports so many girls all around the world. I will also be matching donations up to the first $1,000 (which means that your $25 donation would actually amount to $50!). Any donation will help make an impact; thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

Thank you for your support!
Indira

Donate to Support Girls' Education with Malala Fund
Help Support Girls’ Education Around the World

At Cortical Chic, my mission has always been to build a safe, inspiring space where women feel empowered to pursue their dreams without fear. Now, I aim to use my platform to raise awareness and funds for a cause that is deeply aligned with my values: The Malala Fund.

Today, more than 122 million girls are out of school. That’s not just a number—it’s millions of dreams delayed or denied.

The Malala Fund works to ensure that every girl can access and complete 12 years of free, quality education. They focus especially on secondary school (grades 7–12)—a time when gender discrimination and social pressures most often push girls out of the classroom.

When girls are educated, they gain the power to shape their own futures, support their families, and uplift their communities.

By donating, you are helping open doors for girls around the world—and sending the message that every girl’s education matters.

Please join me in supporting this important cause. Let’s build a world where all girls have the chance to learn, grow, and lead.

Thank you for being part of this movement.
