On Malala Day, Thar Education Alliance CEO Partab Shivani met with Malala Yousafzai to celebrate the power of education and reaffirm the commitment to advancing every child’s right to education, opportunity, and a voice in shaping their future.

During the meeting, CEO Partab Shivani had the privilege of presenting a traditional Marvi Shaal to Malala Yousafzai. Marvi, the legendary heroine of Thar, symbolizes resilience, courage, dignity, and an unwavering commitment to justice values that Malala embodies through her continued advocacy for girls’ education and the right of every child to learn.

The meaningful exchange on Malala Day reflected a shared commitment to ensuring that education reaches every child, particularly girls who remain excluded from school. It also reinforced the belief that children must not only be seen as leaders of tomorrow, but as partners in shaping today.

Let us pledge to stand with Malala until every out-of-school girl is in a classroom, because school is where every child belongs.
