Millennium Fellowship Project: Compassion for Humanity
Compassion for Humanity's project promotes high-quality education and healthy living among children, adults, and the elderly. The project seeks to give sustainable solution to trauma by raising public awareness and educating the public about trauma and trauma-related issues, causes, and ways to handle them and by empowering people via education and skill development for the advancement of Humanity. It briefly addresses problems the general public faces daily due to those issues and difficulties.Compassion for Humanity is project that pervades virtually all SDGs with its main focus on SDG 4(Education) and SDG 3( Health).
It seeks to identify with the sufferings of Nigerians with the purpose of proffering practical ways through which the people of Nigeria can be helped out of their sufferings.
On Education (SDG 4), the project aims to educate young ones on the need to embrace education and not develop a nonchalant attitude towards it. There is this popular notion that has grown on fertile soil in the minds of younger people in Nigeria, "School na Scam", this project seeks to uproot this negative notion.
About the Millennium Fellow
Abubakare Abayomi Joseph is a final year medical student in the Obafemi Awolowo University in Nigeria, who is passionate about good health and well-being for people in all races and background. From his high school days he has had a high interest in biology and other social sciences subjects due to his yearn for knowing how the human body works and the things that prevents it from normal functioning.
This interest also fuelled his interest in medicine and strongly believes after the completion of his medical school, there will be ample platforms to advocate for good health and wellbeing amongst all he comes in contact with.
However, he pondered on the saying "Rome wasn't built in a day" thereby this made him join the Millenniumcampus Fellowship training to build network and capacity for his interest.
He wished he had joined during his earlier days on campus but he believes in the mantra " it is never too late".
He strongly believes that in this Fellowship training he will get all the required information and resources to explore his advocacy for good health and well-being.
