" l will use the best of the opportunity to be a Millennium Fellow to learn about pathways to future social success. I will share the skills I will have gained from the Millennium Fellowship experience with the rest of society to make an impact on people's lives. My Personal Mission is to tackle educational problems, and I hope the Millennium Fellowship leaves me with adequate skills and ability not only to solve educational problems but also other challenges the world is encountering.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Youth Educational Empowerment

Youth Educational Empowerment is a project I started in August 2021. From the observation, interviews with people from various groups and economic levels, plus my personal experience, many children from economically disadvantaged families are unable to go to school or drop out because they lack school supplies and/or fees. Through this project, young people who do not receive an education because of the stated circumstances will be provided with school materials such as uniforms, copybooks, pens, pencils, etc. In partnership with the stakeholders, tuition and scholarships will be offered to competitive students who do not attend the school or drop out before they graduate due to financial instability. In the long run, the project aims to build schools to promote educational infrastructure, which is still among the major issues today’s education is encountering.

As the project’s mission, by 2040, it will have impacted one million young people from economically challenged families to finish their primary, secondary and tertiary education levels and expose them to 21st-century skills that will assist them in achieving their personal and social goals. The overall vision of the project is to promote quality and inclusive education.
