She added that a number of children were deprived of education due to financial constraints. Malala was born in the Shangla District in 1997, later she migrating to Swat with her parents. In 2012, Taliban targeted Malala for asserting her right to education. She survived the attack and is currently studying in United Kingdom’s Oxford University. The KKF Model School is run by a board of trustees including the Malala’s family.
