Markle Pledges As Ever Jam and Tea Proceeds to Malala Fund

Meghan Markle said 100 percent of net proceeds from As Ever jams and teas will support Malala Fund’s girls’ education work, in a partnership with Archewell Philanthropies announced Sunday, October 11. Markle shared the news on Instagram after meeting Malala Yousafzai for tea at Claridge’s in London on October 7. Her announcement said the proceeds would support Malala Fund’s work to help ensure girls have access to free, safe, quality education. The donation is tied to net proceeds, rather than total sales, and no amount or transfer schedule was announced. The announcement described the initiative as taking place for International Day of the Girl. Markle wrote that supporting girls today helps empower women in the future and linked education with that goal. Her post also invited people to shop for the As Ever products, including jams and teas. Malala Fund works to advance girls’ education. The partnership brings together the fund, founded by Yousafzai, and Archewell Philanthropies, which Markle runs with her husband, Prince Harry. The announcement did not provide further details about how proceeds will be calculated or when funds will reach the organization.
