" Problem solving, adaptability and decision making are leadership skills that will be improved by being a part of Millennium Fellowship . I’m sure that this is an outstanding chance to improve my skills, help other people as well as the country to improve. Millennium Fellowship will boast my social impact on agriculture as well as other activities which will help my community and my country to solve the problem of malnutrition. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Production of animal feeds
My project is to produce feeds for chickens, pigs, and fish by using black soldier flies as the source of protein. In Rwanda, there is a scarcity of sources of protein because there is competition between humans and animals on proteins. People also consume plants that act as a source of protein like soyabeans.
