" I am excited to be a Millenium fellow because I am passionate about innovative ways of achieving the sustainable development of quality education and climate through raising awareness and undertaking projects relating to education, livelihoods and conserving of the environment.
The opportunity to learn and interact with the like-minded individuals would go a long way to build me up. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Shelve the Books(STB)

Shelve the books (STB) project seeks to create a system for the effective utilization of books in Ghana.
We aim at bridging the gap between the ability to read and access to reading materials between children in rural and urban community schools by collecting quality books from urban dwellers, schools and fundraising for additional purchases.
This action would give impoverished learners the tools to reach their potential and work towards a transformative life for themselves, their families and their communities.
The project seeks to stock the library of the Elementary Primary and JHS school in Adaklu, Volta Region with 500 Ghanaian textbooks and 400 storybooks from both international and local authors. We would also provide additional stationaries to facilitate the smooth operation of the library facility such as (pen markers, sticky pads, bookmarkers, book labels, glue, sellotapes, pens, notebooks for record-keeping, etc.)
