" As a result oriented SDG advocate,I deem being a part of the 2022 Millennium Fellowship Experience is a formidable platform to hone my leadership skills whilst meaningfully collaborating with like on-campus and global like minded students in line with the MCN mission.
Youth led volunteerism and advocacy nurtures in me a purpose-driven and growth mindset crucial to implementing solutions to everyday challenges enshrined in the sustainable development goals. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Social Impact at the University of Nairobi
The University of Nairobi's Millennium Fellowship cohort joined various SACCOs and Micro-Finance Institutions during this year's Savings week. As part of our Social Impact tour, we explored ways for these institutions partnering with us in advancing the SDGs. The event that took place at the Wakulima Market attracted many small-scale traders. We talked about how how the SACCO movement can support Young people by creating internships and offering decent work and economic growth for the entire society. On their part, the SACCOs shared the strategies they are using to end Poverty, alleviate hunger, and build sustainable cities and communities through their products.
