Areeba Fatima is an investigative reporter in Pakistan, which is ranked 152nd (out of 180 countries) in press freedom. She's been accepted to Columbia University's journalism school but can't afford it, which is nonsense. If enough people donate, we can help her out with costs and she can still go.
