Shining a light for youth in the dark

SMU alumna Farah Malik shared about the many who have reached out to lend a hand through the course of her educational journey. While applying for internships as a SMU student, she turned to mentors who gave her tips on how to write effective e-mails and dress smartly for interviews. All these experiences made her resolve to give back as soon as she could. In 2014, while doing a Bachelor of Social Science in psychology and marketing course at SMU, she and her brother, Faris Malik, a digital marketing trainer, launched Sky High Educators. The social enterprise taps undergraduate tutors to help primary-to tertiary-level students access more affordable tuition. Funded by a grant from a donor organisation which prefers to remain anonymous, the social enterprise launched free online tuition for students with financial difficulties last month.
