Millennium Fellowship Project: SDG #4: Improving Literacy In India with Globaly Active Small Businesses
This project aims to provide better resources and lessons to underserved children in Bangaluru, India. The project achieves this ideal through a two-fold approach; on the one hand, volunteers (including myself) teach in India and tutor the orphanage children at the heart of this project. The second pillar of this project is more global: increasing awareness for the SDGs through cooperation with small, local businesses to showcase the power of a collective set of global goals. Small business partnerships allow better and more resources to be collected for the orphanage children while creating a symbiotic feedback loop in using the SDGs as a marketing and business opportunity for the stakeholders. Volunteers everywhere, from Hong Kong to the United States, reach out to businesses to teach about the SDGs and collect resources where possible.
