The nonprofit group that offers educational and recreational programs for girls says Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan will speak in Omaha on July 18th.
The 18-year-old won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for advocating for girls’ education after she was shot on a school bus in 2012.
Girls Incorporated’s executive director Roberta Wilhelm says she thinks Yousafzai’s message will resonate with the girls she works with.
The group has brought a number of prominent speakers to Omaha in the past including, President Barack Obama, Former President Bill Clinton, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and billionaire Warren Buffett.
