The fund was established on Malala's behalf by the Vital Voices Global Partnership, a non-governmental organization founded in 1997 by former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Malala spoke via Skype on Friday with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who said he was "deeply impressed" with her. "When we work together we can achieve our goal, and our goal is simple: peace and happiness in this world," she told Ban. The way to see peace is through education. It is an honor for me to be associated with the U.N. I want to tell the world how important education is. Ban said, "The U.N. will always be with you and the many people like you." "If we educate a woman, we educate a family, a community and a country," he said. Earlier this week in Washington, Malala was presented with Vital Voices' Global Trailblazer Award, in "recognition of her courage, conviction, and vision for the future." Previous recipients of the award include Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Myanmar's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
