" The program will allow me the opportunity to turn my passion for social change into action. It is a step toward gaining the skills and confidence I need to help underprivileged communities. I would like to make a positive lasting impact in their lives. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Re Tsaya Efe ?
"This project is simply about connecting the community for the
greater good with sustainable development at the centre of it all. Working with people that know more about SDGs, we will teach students around campus,secondary schools and in marginalised communities about the goals and then encourage active participation in the journey to 2030. What is even better? we will include the more relevant local Vision 2036 goals. We will come
together with youngsters like me to do/show simple actions that could easily add up to us winning this race. We will host fun, vibey yet educational sessions. For example, in a session discussing SDG13, we can do litter picking, paint
bins and donate them, SDG1 we could go to a village and donate food hampers to a few families, simple. Making taking action fun.
We hope to reach 5 schools by the end of December."
About the Millennium Fellow
Tumelo Thebe is a fourth year finance and banking student currently residing and studying in Gaborone, Botswana. She is a passionate advocate for social change. From a young age, Tumelo has been driven by a desire to be a voice for the voiceless, though this ambition was often tempered by insecurities and uncertainty about how to take action. Through this program, Tumelo is eager to learn the practical skills needed for effective philanthropic work, while also gaining the confidence and expertise to make a meaningful difference in the community. With this knowledge, Tumelo dreams to one day found a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting underprivileged women and children, with the ultimate goal of establishing an orphanage to provide a safe haven for those in need.
