Millennium Fellowship Project: The Slumkids Mindshift
Slumkids Mindshift project is geared towards empowering young students to become problem solvers, not problem avoiders; equipping them with the necessary tools to change themselves and go beyond limitations in their environment and change their society. Because how successful they will become is based on how they handle problems.
The plan is to visit primary and secondary schools with learning materials like notebooks, school bags, and textbooks.
We will host training session about employability skills and entrepreneurial skills after we have visited their schools and also we will raise $500 to sponsor the students who need to further their education but do not have the money to do so.
