Ziauddin knew from the minute she was born that she was going to make a difference and thrive as a young woman in Pakistan. From that moment on, he dedicated himself to providing her with the education and skills she needed for being successful. Malala’s mother was also very selfless and fond of her daughter.

Together, Malala’s parents had great ambitions for their young daughter and worked tirelessly to raise her with love
