The Malala Fund was the result of Malala Yousafzai's vision to educate every girl in Pakistan. When Malala was shot by the Taliban in 2012, one woman came to her aid not just to care for her as she recovered but to make her dream come true. That woman was Shiza Shahid. Through Shahid's help, the Malala Fund was established as a way of leveraging the young girl's voice and driving all the activity around her into meaningful action.
Shiza Shahid is a Pakistani social activist and entrepreneur. Before being CEO and co-founder to the Malala Fund, she graduated from Stanford University and went on to become a business analyst in the Middle East for McKinsey & Company. For her work, Shahid was recently inducted into Forbes 30 Under 30 list for social entrepreneurs and TIME Magazine's 30 Under 30 World Changers. Shiza Shahid is a young woman guiding those even younger to a world of change and a better future that would arise from it.
