" Motivated to be the next storyteller on women empowerment, through bringing gender equality in work-life integration journey. Being a part of Millennium Fellow community, I am thrilled to collaborate with other impact making Fellows who shared vision on the SDG goals, aligned with UNAI principles. Through meeting different students from different backgrounds and countries, I am looking forward to gaining more social impact insights from disciplinary-wise projects. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Women Empowerment and Financial Literacy
I wish to address the SDG goals of gender inequality in the workplace, fill the gaps in healthcare education and women empowerment for their roles in family. I am a nutrition and public health student from HKU, Hong Kong (HK). As heard, probably the busiest city in the world with workaholics. I wish to initiate a project to spread the importance of living healthily in both physical and mental way in such stressful city, especially for the working mum and who probably will go back to workplaces after giving birth to a child.
