​The One Direction family have once again pulled out all the stops in celebration of a bandmember\'s birthday, organising a fundraiser in aid of the Malala Fund to mark Harry Styles\'s 22nd consecutive year of bringing unparalleled joy to the world.

Having organised the appeal well in advance of Harry\'s actual birthday, a Twitter account and fundraising page are already operating full steam ahead to generate as much interest in the campaign as possible in the run-up to the 1st of February.

The choice of charity, The Malala Fund, stems from the comments Harry made in the Action/1D video where he announced his dream of one day living in a world "where every child can go to school."

Connecting Harry\'s comments to the story of Malala Yousafzai who, a few years ago, was shot over her desire to go to school and receive an education, the campaign selected by the fans will fund support for all girls to receive access to formal schooling.​

To help generate more funds for the cause, the fans behind the \'H.E.S For Malala\' drive have even organised a merchandise collection where all the proceeds from sales will be donated directly to charity. Here\'s an example of what you can purchase from the site: 

"If I could fly...". Proceeds go to Harry\'s birthday fund for girls\' education worldwide.

The organisers behind the campaign explained the importance of the charity in their words: "For his Action1D video, Harry chose to speak about education. He explained how he met children whose only dream was to go to school, and how if that dream couldn\'t come true, they could only look forward to a life of struggle. education is the way out of poverty. 

"So to celebrate Harry\'s birthday in a special way, and to support this great cause and hopefully transform a few lives, we are raising funds to support girls\' right to education in a world where over 60 million of them are out of school. We hope for this to be a sweet birthday gift and to send a message to the world saying that just like our boys care, we care too, and we are willing to make a difference."
