" From the moment I learnt about the Millennium Fellowship program, I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of. I am extremely pleased to be a Millenium Fellow because I'm looking forward to the new skills I will acquire. I look forward to working with a team, developing my soft skills in communication, teamwork and project management. I also look forward to making an impact in my own little way in alignment with the 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.
