18-year-old Ruhi decided not to sit by and watch as girls in her small village in Bihar, India consistently dropped out of school. Inspired by He Named Me Malala, the documentary about Malala’s life, Ruhi created a “Malala Manch” — a group that encourages girls to return to the classroom. “If Malala could do this, then why can’t we? If one girl can raise awareness among so many people, then we can do the same,” Ruhi says of her decision to start Malala Manch.
