Millennium Fellowship Project: #LeaveNoOneBehind project
It is the project we are currently working on and am the team head. It’s called the Leave NO ONe Behind project which aims at helping the young African girl children fight male domination that comes along with early marriages and children on islands to access education( quality education as equally). My road map is quite precise. Am basically lookingand aiming at providing a better study environment for the Ugandan Children who live on the islands of Uganda. These specific groups of children are not having the best provisions and equipment to get to school. Most of them canoe on the lakes every day to go and study because those are the schools they can afford. Since our country is still 3rd world, we cannot blame the govenrment but rather try to live within the means. However its too risky for these children and it makes education a burden a reason as to why most of them opt to drop out of school and as an African i aim at education for all to eradicate povery and illetracy which cannot happen if education is becoming a burden. This js why my project #Leave No One campaign is here to advocate for an international platform in a journey to transform Africa.
