" "Leverage and solid team work are two necessities to carry out big projects or map out life changing creativity. Being a member of Millennium Fellowship helps me kill the two birds with a stone. The skills I gain from Millennium Fellowship and the relationship I build will provide me with good leverage to continue advocating for sustainable goals in alignment with World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Development Program (UNDP) aims and goals." "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Evolve
To eradicate poverty, measures to prevent over population and maintain equilibrium in the distribution of economic resources in the society have to be put in place. Controlling over population will bring ease to the people in managing and utilizing available economic resources. Thus, the spectrum of wealth distribution from the upper class to lower class is balanced.
Project EvolvE is focused on two major things:
1. Enlightening youths around me on the importance of population control and birth control measures. Simplifying the concept and creating constant awareness harnessing the power of internet/social media platforms.
2. Empowering/Exposing youths to ways in which they can maximize their income given their environment, exposure, and education by teaching them digital skills that are profitable and relevant today.
