Meghan Markle partners with Malala Yousafzai for charity fundraiser
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has announced a charitable partnership with Malala Yousafzai to mark the International Day of the Girl. Through her brand As Ever and Archewell Philanthropies, Markle pledged that 100% of the net proceeds from specific jams and teas sold on October 11 would be donated to the Malala Fund to support girls' access to education.
While the initiative aims to provide financial support for the Malala Fund's mission, the fundraiser has faced scrutiny. An estimate by Daily Mail editor Alison Boshoff suggested the proceeds might amount to approximately $2,520, based on hypothetical sales and profit margins. However, neither As Ever nor the Malala Fund has released the official total of the funds raised.
