" My passion to commit to my community and activism fueled me to serve to some of the challenges youth are facing. Being part of the Millennium Fellowship will enhance my leadership skills and grow my passion collaboratively. The skills that I will gain from the Millennium Fellowship will make social impacts on high schools and some communities will boost education and aligned with UNAI Principals and SDGs.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Gratitude, Resilience, Authenticity, Teamwork, and Habilitation (Great Hubs)
This project first focuses on empowering female students in order for them to succeed in their education initiative. It then also extended to catering for male students at secondary school so that we can bridge the gap between both genders. This will be accomplished through mentorship, mental health support, sporting activities, offering resources such as sanitary pads, food items, and stationary, and emotional support to help them overcome barriers and achieve ther goals.
