" Empowering others through digital skills and education drives my work. Being part of the Millennium Fellowship will amplify my efforts to create meaningful impact in the refugee community, aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. I am eager to learn, collaborate, and grow in ways that will help me better serve those who need it most." "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Fly Bring Smile
Fly Bring Smile is an initiative I started before the fellowship and continues to impact lives today. It supports refugee communities by addressing their unique challenges and providing practical solutions. The project empowers individuals to build better futures through education, skills training, and community programs. Fly Bring Smile also creates safe spaces for support and fosters a sense of belonging. By collaborating with passionate volunteers and growing its team, the initiative continues to reach more needy people. It promotes resilience, self-sufficiency, and positive change, making a meaningful difference in refugee communities daily.
