Strathmore University | Nairobi, Kenya | Advancing SDG 4 & UNAI 5
" I am really excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it will give me an opportunity to fight for my cause as well as to get to interact and network with other young change makers around the world. I am passionate about quality education because I know that it is a big challenge here in Kenya, having volunteered in an underprivileged public primary school. I want to ensure that all children are able to access quality education. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Waridi
Waridi is a mentorship program where we empower children with life skills. This would put them in a better position to overcome many of the challenges they face and become the best versions of themselves.
