" I am excited to network and collaborate with diverse Fellows from around the globe. I am looking forward to polishing my strengths with ethics and acquiring skills to help me in recognizing my aspirations to make an economic impact in my country. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Hope for Future

Hope for Future is a project I am working currently on with a team of six other Ashesi students. The problem identified is the high child mortality rate in Mozambique of which my team and I upon torough researches, have had an epiphany that the situation at hand is due to poor nutrition or malnutrition among infants in Mozambique. As such, we aim at building a smart irrigational system for farmers. These sprinklers will use emerging technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) and thereby making them more efficient and increasing yield. The smart irrigational system will be self-operational and hence, remove burden on farmers in turning on and off the irrigation system.

About the Millennium Fellow

Michael Addo is an Electrical and Electronic Engineering student at Ashesi University in Berekuso, Ghana. Michael is a young and enthusiastic person who is more passionate about making an impact in the economic issues in his country, Ghana. This drive and ardour translated itself from Michael’s years of rationing and privation in the past and his continuous dedication to economic action. As a prospective Electrical Engineer, he intends to build machineries that will help his community farmers increase crop yields. His goal is to design electrical systems to enhance productivity in the agricultural sector, more specifically, to help Ghana process their raw materials into more useful or edible forms. Through his project, he hopes to encourage the youth into farming, educate them on how to generate many yields and much income, as well as begin a career in farming. After he graduates, he hopes to specialize in Mechatronics Engineering towards a career as a Mechanical and Electronics Design Engineer and help his country to be more self-reliant and efficient in its agricultural produce.
