Millennium Fellowship Project: My Safe Space

My Safe Space is a platform that is going to help address the issues that young adults are facing. It is meant to create a society where young adults are free to share and relate with others without feeling judged or discriminated against. It is meant to create more awareness of the well-being of young individuals. The aim is to help young adults open up and find their safe space within each other

About the Millennium Fellow

Gamuchirai Katu is a young female who is drawn to helping out people especially the vulnerable young community groups. She was born as a result of early teenage pregnancy, so she faced difficulties in opening up to people or appreciating the fact that she was enough. Growing up she has bottled up every emotion because she has never had a community that showed and assured her that she was enough and not alone. Those years of constantly feeling like she is not safe in her own skin drove the zeal to create a safe space for young adults. The zeal to establish such a community has been one of her childhood dreams. In order to be able to achieve that dream, she is currently studying for an Honours degree in Multilingual Communication Translation and Interpretation. Through this, she believes it is a start to be able to understand how people communicate and establish a bridge between people despite cultural or language differences. She is an only child and of the Christian faith. Gamuchirai enjoys reading.
