Just because you're young doesn't mean you can't be a leader.
Yousafzai is an activist for children's rights, and particularly the right for girls to get an education.
In this case, "activist" means that she tries to get that message out, no matter how difficult that may be for her.

His hope was to raise money for cancer research and eventually help to find a cure for the disease.

After losing a leg to bone cancer, Terry Fox wanted to help other people. To raise money, he began a fundraising run across Canada. His famous run-hop stride is well known to Canadians and people around the world.

Terry Fox ran more than 5,300 kilometres – half-way across Canada – when the cancer spread to his lungs. He died at the age of 22, in 1981.
