Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai has announced that she is donating US$ 50,000 – all of the prize money from her prestigious World’s Children’s Prize – to rebuild an United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) school damaged during the recent fighting in #Gaza.

“Innocent Palestinian children have suffered terribly and for too long. We must all work to ensure Palestinian boys and girls, and all children everywhere, receive a quality education in a safe environment. Because without education, there will never be peace,” said Malala.

This is our demand, our request to all the responsible people – that instead of sending weapons, instead of sending tanks to Afghanistan and all these countries that are suffering from terrorism, send books. Instead of sending tanks, send pens. Instead of sending soldiers, send teachers. This is the only way we can fight for education.
