" "A life is not important except in the impact it has on others' lives." ~ Jackie Robinson.
I believe that every human is endowed with a lamp capable of dispelling the darkness that surrounds us. However, not everyone’s lamp is lit, and as a result, darkness and despair continue to prevail across the world.
By God's grace, I have been blessed with the mental strength and clarity that compel me to create a positive social impact. When an unparalleled opportunity like the MCN, which has consistently made a global impact on millions, presents itself, I cannot afford to let it pass. I wait with bated breath to learn and grow through this journey with MCN, working towards the achievement of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Project 1Billion
PROJECT 1BILLION focuses mainly on the Impacts of obesity on reproductive health. According to WHO, the number of obese people in the world is approximately 1 billion. A very important impact that will be given extra focus will be Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), which is a hormonal disorder, which has its onset during adolescence and gradually progresses. This is usually seen in women who have a similar family history, have Type II Diabetes Mellitus or have a very poor lifestyle. Poor lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits may lead to obesity. So lifestyle and obesity are important risk factors for reproductive diseases in both males and females. In males, obesity may increase the risk of infertility and other related sexual issues. This project therefore aims at educating the boys and girls of the reproductive age group about the risk factors like obesity that may predispose them to reproductive issues like PCOS in women or infertility. This project also aims at encouraging girls to look out for warning symptoms of PCOS and importance of getting tested immediately. It educates them about the management of the symptoms of the disease and necessary lifestyle modifications like daily exercise to cut down on excess weight.
