" As an enthusiast of just the world, I am thrilled to participate in the Millennium Fellowship. This will be a great opportunity to enhance my leadership and communication skills. Moreover, it is a platform that provides training to make social impacts which can boost learning and creativity.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Afghan Girls Empowerment
It is a project for Afghan girls' empowerment to help them learn essential skills lie English and leadership through online platforms. I am helping them to enhance their English and take English language tests to get scholarships. It is the main goal of my project. As girls are now banned from getting an education, there are opportunities they can use and get out of Afghanistan to pursue their education.
