" I aspire to be part of the Millennium Fellowship because I'm driven to make a
meaningful impact in my community and the world. I believe that this fellowship will empower me with the skills, knowledge, and network to amplify my voice and create sustainable change, aligning with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Pad A Girl

Pad a Girl Project is a menstrual health initiative aimed at addressing the challenges faced by young girls in underserved communities due to inadequate access to menstrual hygiene products. The project focuses on distributing sanitary pads, providing menstrual hygiene education, and offering emotional support to empower girls to attend school with confidence and dignity.
Aligned with SDGs 1 (No Poverty), 3 (Good Health and Well-being), 4 (Quality Education), and 5 (Gender Equality), this initiative seeks to reduce absenteeism in schools, improve menstrual health awareness, and promote gender equity by breaking the stigma surrounding menstruation.
Through our efforts, we aim to create lasting change by ensuring that no girl is held back by a lack of access to basic menstrual health needs.
