Real life dads share their personal stories of change

This Father’s Day, we wanted to share some of the letters we’ve received from fathers around the world who have benefited from our work in maternal, newborn and child health. How do men benefit?

One-on-one with Malala’s father, Ziauddin Yousafzai

As a parent, you make incredible sacrifices for your children. For Ziauddin
Yousafzai, his choices nearly cost him the life of his daughter, Malala Yousafzai.
