" Empathy is what drives what I do, I was once an adolescent and as much as my parents guided me, there were things that were never discussed with me. I have watched my friends get pregnant as teenagers all because we lacked the right information. Being a Millennium Fellow, will further help to project this cause , because I am sure to meet people of like minds which would help to reach more adolescents and the community at large and they will be well informed. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Inform Our Communities
Project Inform Our Communities is a group project organized by 2022 Millennium Fellows of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. This is a project that addresses the ignorance on healthy living amongst several people in the communities around us.
It has been observed that this ignorance has cost several people their lives and has increased the death rate amongst them. We aim to educate these people on the right ways of healthy living and encourage them to conform to life-preserving activities.
During the Millennium Fellowship period (August – December 2022), Project Inform Our Communities (I.O.C.) will host a minimum of 3 outreaches to these communities.
These outreaches will include general health talks, mental health talks, roundtable discussions, and open mics.
We, the team of Project Inform Our Communities– are aiming to reach about 1,000 people for this event and we believe this project will soon advance globally.
