As part of its “2022 e for education” campaign, the organization recently announced the highest annual amount since it launched the initiative in 2013, completing $66 million with which more than a million young people have been supported.

Stuart Staley, Global Head of CitiFX, stated:

As we reach a key milestone in this campaign, we wholeheartedly support our non-profit partners’ efforts to help young people unleash their talent through the power of education. Their dedication is truly an inspiration to us all.

As part of an eight-week campaign, between September and October, Citi Markets allocated a percentage of electronically traded trading revenue to education-focused nonprofit organizations that address childhood illiteracy and improve access to quality education.

“Our team at Malala Fund is so grateful to have partners like Citi that see the power of girls, invest in their education and remain committed year after year through the e for education campaign to building a more equal future for us all. With Citi's support, Malala Fund has reached millions of students through our girls' education projects and I look forward to seeing the world those young women will create,” stressed Malala Yousafzai, co-founder and Board Chair of Malala Fund.
