Avon Products, Inc. has announced that the Avon Foundation for Women will donate $100,000 to Malala Fund. It is a charity that aims to provide every girl 12 years of free, safe, and quality education, states the release.Avon and Malala Fund share a common goal of breaking down the barriers that hold women and girls back and create a better and equal world for everyone. Avon’s global program, stand4her, endeavors to improve the lives of 100 million women through creating opportunities where they can build success on their terms.The plan includes initiatives such as the Avon Academy, a training platform that trains representatives to learn beauty and business skills. It also has the Global Scholarship Program that offers financial support to Avon’s beauty entrepreneurs and their families to continue their studies, states the release.Founded by Malala Yousafzai and her father Ziauddin, the Malala Fund works to shape a world where women can learn and lead. Its focus is on the 130 million girls out of school globally. The fund invests in local education activists known as Gulmakai Champions. It gives a voice to girls and advocates to hold leaders accountable at local, national, and international levels.Patricia Eisner, Chief Development Officer of Malala Fund said, “Like Avon, Malala Fund aims to break down the barriers keeping girls from achieving their full potential. We share a vision to see a world where all women and girls can learn, and Malala Fund is grateful to the Avon Foundation for Women for investing in our work. Unlike countries with millions of out-of-school girls, Brazil could see every girl in school relatively soon.”The Avon Foundation for Women’s donation is aimed at one of Malala Fund’s Gulmakai Champions who are working to advance girls’ education in Brazil. According to statistics, 1.5 million girls are currently denied an education as a result of racism, exploitation, and poverty in Brazil.Malala Yousafzai, Co-Founder, Malala Fund adds, “In Brazil, indigenous and Afro-Brazilian girls are disproportionately marginalized and struggle to complete their education. Malala Fund’s Gulmakai in Brazil are fighting for their future and we are grateful to the Avon Foundation for Women for investing in their work.” https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
