My social influence on schools and societies will become more concrete and in line with SDG goals thanks to the skills I recieve through the Millennium Fellowship.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Greening Schools
Greening schools was started in September 2022. It is an initiative to reforest schools in Kenya. We selected schools and children between the ages of 10 and 15 because of the sustainability gap. When it comes to issues of climate change, both now and in the future, children are most important. The goal of greening schools is to plant native and fruit trees as well as teach students how to care for the trees and surroundings. They have had an equal introduction to worldwide educational and environmental care resources. It falls primarily on the teachers to make sure the kids make the most of their exposure to the world and develop experience in a global classroom.
Our partnership with Eco-care Kenya resulted in the donation of fruit trees. They also provided us with knowledge about planting in terms of manual labor and spacing. Additionally, Eco Care has agreed to accompany us as we visit other schools. In order to ensure that our project expands beyond of Nairobi and other counties, we also intend to collaborate with other media outlets.
The project will last for many years, not just this one.
