21st Century Fox has announced a contribution of more than $125,000 to the Malala Fund, an organization advocating for secondary girls’ education around the world. The gift consists of funds raised through a company-wide employee matching program, as well as a social media campaign led by 21CF and the National Geographic Channel, and will help provide education for Syrian refugee children. The donation is the culmination of the company’s yearlong global campaign to support “He Named Me Malala,” Fox Searchlight and National Geographic Channel’s documentary about 18-year-old activist Malala Yousafzai, and raise awareness of the more than 60 million young women who are out of school around the globe.
