" I'm excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it offers a unique platform to amplify my efforts in combating malnutrition and fostering sustainable systems. Being a part of this fellowship allows me to collaborate with individuals committed to social impact, learn from diverse perspectives, and drive meaningful change in my community. As they say, "Children are the future of tomorrow," I do this because I believe every child deserves access to nutritious food and a healthy future. Through collective action, we can make this vision a reality. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: SIMPLEJOINT

Last year, I launched a joint initiative called “SIMPLEJOINT." An initiative on a mission to empower communities with the mindtools and projects for human development, leveraging partnerships and collaboration for Sustainability. We manage community-centered projects that tackle some of the grand challenges in Africa. SimpleJoint is focused on creating a sustainable future for people and the planet. Our projects employ innovative approaches to advance sustainability through strong partnerships to drive sustainable solutions for you and your enterprise.
I saw the growing need for e-health solutions, particularly in the public health sector in my community. We are building 'JointCare,' a community health project that focuses on SDG 3 (Health and Well-being) to solve the problem of poor access to health maintenance products by distributing Dietary supplements, Nutritionals, and Personal care through e-health channels. I will also provide affordable access to primary healthcare in underserved communities in collaboration with my mother, a nurse, and other community health professionals in Nigeria. I seek to empower consumers by connecting them to effective Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) through e-health services. Focusing on the African market, the demand for nutritional solutions is rapidly growing. We provide access to Primary healthcare and insurance services in underserved communities and empower consumers by connecting them to effective Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) across the continent. With JointCare, our goal is to promote primary prevention and a healthy and wellness lifestyle within our community through awareness programs and by empowering the healthcare system in Africa.
