" Being or bringing a solution has always been my dream, and I am excited that I was able to join the group of young leaders across the globe with that same heart and spirit of helping and bringing a change to their community. And I can’t wait to use such an opportunity. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Ireme foundation
Ireme foundation, a nonprofit organisation that provides scholarships and training to the students who are moving from primary to secondary education and believes to see the future of those children to be brightened. This coming year, Ireme aims at sending at least 10 students to school and cover all their tuition and school materials and also provide additional training to them in holidays in order to equip them with all the necessities that would help them to become in future job creators instead of job seekers.
The background doesn’t matter once educated that’s why Ireme focuses on providing quality education to the students who can’t easily afford it since they are the future global leaders who need the chance. And as a result, this will reduce the percentages of dropouts and early marriages due to lack of means.
About the Millennium Fellow
Diane Cyuzuzo will start her junior year at African Leadership University this fall. She is part of Model UN at ALU, she is a Christian who believes in unity at a global level, and she works hard to bring and see change wherever she goes because she takes herself as a global citizen. Diane plans to make this world a better place using her project of helping students from a financially poor background to continue their education through IREME foundation, a non-profit organisation she created. She loves being a motivational speaker because she hates people giving up on their dreams because of the world’s uncertainties.
