Malala Yousafzai Gives $50,000 To Reconstruction Of Gaza Schools

Malala Yousafzai the Pakistani education
campaigner shot by the Taliban, has
donated $50,000 (nearly £31,000) towards
the reconstruction of schools in Gaza .
The Nobel peace prize winner, speaking
after receiving the World Children’s Prize
for the rights of the child in Marienfred,
Sweden, on Wednesday, said the money
would be channelled through the United
Nations relief agency UNRWA to help
rebuild 65 schools in the Palestinian
territory.
Malala, who now lives in the UK and has
her own fund to help small-scale
organisations in a number of countries,
including Pakistan, told journalists that
children in Gaza had suffered from conflicts
and war. The money would help children
get “quality education” and continue their
life, knowing they were not alone and that
people were supporting them, she said.
