As few weeks are remaining for elections in Pakistan, for now Malala has abstained herself for participating in the politics. However, in future she aims to serve the country by becoming the prime minister.
On her birthday, Malala Yousafzai wishes that all girls could have access to safe and quality education. Malala’s journey and continuous strive towards promotion of girls education provides a pathway to every individual to wage struggle against poverty, terrorism and illiteracy through EDUCATION.
