Millennium Fellowship Project: Let Her Breathe
The protect I'll be working on will give more focus on the female child. As they usually say " If you educate a female child you educate the world. 1: firstly alot of females child are out of school so part of my project is to enlighten the parents on the importance of a female child to be educated. Cause by being educated they will be able to contribute positively to the society. An educated mother will make sure that her child is well educated and this will reduce the rates criminals in the society 2: My project will also focus on enlightening the females on their rights because not a day will pass without them being harassed, raped and assaulted by some immoral guys, and when such things happen they try to conceal it and the immoral guys will now go free without accounting for their sins, and will make them continue doing that which is unfortunate.
