" Investing time and resources in helping people is one of the best decisions that one could ever make and that's why I'm excited about the Millennium Fellowship and the project I'll be working on.
Also, being able to learn, grow and meet more people during the period of this Fellowship is something that makes me even more elated. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Mental Health Awareness
Depression is one of the leading causes of disability while suicide is the second leading
cause of death among 15-29-year-olds. People with severe mental health conditions die prematurely – as much as two
decades early – due to preventable physical conditions.
The project made people aware and recognise that our psychological
well-being is an important part of our health, happiness, and productivity.
An outreach was held in two different secondary schools to increase understanding of mental health, reduce stigma and curb the high rate of depression and suicide among secondary school students.
