Millennium Fellowship Project: Education For Every Child
Education For Every Child Project is aimed at reducing the rate of child drop out of school and also creating awareness in schools and communities on the importance of education to the society and how it will go a long way to solve some societal challenges.
Measurable Goals I hope to achieve:
1) Organize an outreach to 10 schools within my community to educate students and pupils in primary and secondary schools, on the importance of education and how it plays a vital role to achieving their dreams and future ambitions.
2) Sending at least three (3) drop out kids back to school every month.
3) Educating parents on the need to educate their children.
