" I have spent so long looking for the right opportunity to work with a group of people who share my mindset, ambitions, and perspective. I have always wanted to give back to the community and the world in some way. The Millennium Fellowship is an excellent opportunity for me to develop my leadership and communication skills, as well as to grow as a person.I am completely aware of the importance of achieving the SDGs as early as possible in order to assist the people. It is critical for students to promote and pursue such goals in order to achieve immediate action and social awareness. Education has a significant impact on an individual's life. “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world,” Nelson Mandela once said. According to statistics by UNICEF,An estimated 6.1 million children out of school in 2014 reduced from 13.46 million in 2006. Out of 100 students, 29 percent of girls and boys drop out of school before completing the full cycle of elementary education, and often they are the most marginalised children.Around 50 percent of adolescents do not complete secondary education, while approximately 20 million children not attending pre-school.These statistics call for change and action in order for India to have a more empowered future. It is a well-known fact that a country's future is in the hands of its youth population. As a result, our team believes that helping children's education in some way will help the world become a better place and move closer to achieving the United Nations' goals. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Bibliotèach

Project Bibliotèach was conceived in June 2021 to proliferate the benefits of education across students in India. We realised the need for practical education that targeted underprivileged students. These students may or may not have had access to formal education, but regardless of their current educational status, we encourage them to think beyond the limits of rote learning. What started as an idea between some students soon transformed into a full-fledged project, Bibliotéach. We aim to advance SDG 4 (Quality education) and UNAI (United Nations Academic Impact Principles) 2 - Capacity building.
