Apple CEO and philanthropist Tim Cook announced today a partnership with Nobel Peace Prize-winner Malala Yousafzai and her Malala Fund as part of the tech company’s latest efforts to support global education initiatives.
“We believe that education is a great equalizing force and we share Malala Fund’s commitment to give every girl an opportunity to go to school,” Cook said in a news release.
Yousafzai was shot in 2012 by a Taliban gunman for advocating women’s education. Since then, she has become a renowned activist for equal rights. As of fall 2017, the 20-year-old is studying at the University of Oxford.
