Through their Education Champion Network, the Malala Fund supports and partners with local education leaders and innovators working to advance girls' education. These local champions are young leaders who understand the challenges in their communities and have the power to create an impact from within. The Education Champions receive multi-year grants to scale their solutions, amplify their voices, and connect nationally and globally to other champions. Additionally, they become a part of a three-year applied learning programme for each champion based on individual professional development priorities related to advocacy, movement building, and organisational leadership.

Wilstar finances the work of one of these Education Champions to ensure all girls in India receive their right to an education.
