" I'm excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it provides a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals passionate about creating positive change. Technology can be a powerful tool for social impact. I'm committed to using my skills to address critical issues like internet accessibility in Chad, especially in rural areas. This fellowship allows me to contribute to meaningful solutions and make a lasting difference in my community. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: IntCh
IntCh is a project that aims to serve and improve the quality of the internet in my country, Chad. In tackling the internet accessibility issue in Chad, my plan involves a mix of ideas to improve things. I will forge a partnership with the government and enterprises like Canal to come and invest in the digital field and enhance the country's digital setup, ensuring we have good and affordable internet using fiber as the field is not developed enough and is known by its performance, especially in the rural areas that need it most. This will help the youth special to get connected to the surrounding world and to have access to the huge opportunities either in education or remote works, We plan to serve the community rather than make money.
