| Power of Children: Making A Difference "Malala's World"
Implementation
of a fourth story, Malala’s World,
within the existing permanent exhibition The
Power of Children: Making a Difference.
The Children's Museum of Indianapolis (Museum) proposes the addition of “Malala’s World” to expand the permanent exhibit entitled The Power of Children: Making A Difference. Through this project, the Museum will build upon its groundbreaking and successful permanent exhibit by adding the inspirational story of Malala Yousafzai, a young girl from Pakistan who advocated for and continues to support education and equality under the threat of the Taliban. In 2014, Malala was awarded the Nobel Prize for her advocacy efforts. Since opening in 2007, over 3.5 million children and their families and 250,000 students have visited The Power of Children: Making A Difference exhibit. Additionally, 67,578 have visited the traveling version in locations across the United States.
