Millennium Fellowship Project: Female Youth Global Empowerment, FYGE
My MCN Project was mainly reawakening and rebranding my NGO called Female Youth Global Empowerment (FYGE) at the time. Two months after the fellowship, we relaunched our new brand and our new name is 'Nexo Girls'. The MCN Alumni Team said the new name will be added to my Millennium Fellowship profile but seems like that promise wasn't fulfilled which is why I'm filling this form.
Suggestion: The new name can be added in this form -> Nexo Girls (formerly Female Youth Global Empowerment - FYGE) or Female Youth Global Empowerment, FYGE (now called Nexo Girls).
In addition to the update on the new brand name, our bio has also changed to this;
"Nexo Girls fka Female Youth Global Empowerment (FYGE) is a youth-led female-oriented NGO that equips young women with skills in high demand globally.
Our goal is to close the gender gap in tech by promoting digital literacy and encouraging women's participation in STEAM fields in a bid to alleviate poverty & stop gender stereotypes.
We have made a significant impact by reaching over 2,500 youths through digital skills programs, advocacy, and mentorship initiatives.
We will continue to conduct school tours, training sessions, and events that sensitise and enlighten females about their inclusion in the tech space in addition to developing innovative approaches to benefit our audience.
