" "I want to be heard. But not in a way where it'll be perceived as noise. I want to be heard to make a change. To be efficient, be productive, adaptible. But I also want to be creative, and make the most of the iota that we have at hand. Being a Millennium Fellow will help me be that key that would open doors to many horizons, and eventually, I'll learn what humanity is all about." "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Zilo
"Zilo" is a project reuniting scarce resources to maximise awareness on water resources and their value. Water being an essential element and Mauritius being surrounded by water, the millennium fellows of the University of Mauritius will be organising simple activities to promote the SDG 14 such as cleanups of water bodies, reducing marine pollution, raising awareness on the importance of mangroves, among others.
About the Millennium Fellow
Richa Lallchand is currently a Law student at the University of Mauritius. She had a rather peculiar academic parcours, having started her studies at a very young age in a French medium school, to later transfer to an English medium one. She is versatile, very adaptible to change and makes the most of her resources at hand. Richa has always been very protective of her country, especially of her natural environment. She is someone who is fascinated by the way law forges and builds society, and intends on using law to make a better tomorrow for the future generations.
