" Raised in remote Sankhuwasabha, Nepal, I learned the values of hard work and perseverance early on and I believe that practical education and real-world experience are key to bringing positive change and solving society’s problems. Through this fellowship program, I want to gain insight and expertise from fellows at many universities worldwide in different projects. Following the SDG and UNAI principle, this program will help me to develop my collaborative and leadership skill which can help me to smooth my project of making the community aware about the drugs and helping to find their potential. With the aim of learning creativity and collaboration, I am excited to participate and give my 100% in learning. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Sustaining Education: Tackling Financial Literacy & Drugs

Our initiative addresses two prevailing issues among the youth in Kharang, including drug abuse and financial illiteracy, as many students within Kharang are either leaving college due to financial constraints or could easily fall into substance abuse. This project integrates awareness campaigns on drug prevention with basic financial education to equip young people to make healthier life choices and at the same time gain financial literacy skills. This will be achieved through multiple workshops and counseling on basic investment principles, thus allowing students to handle their finances for educational support and a more stable future. This dual approach contributes to creating a safer and more empowered youth community, eventually fostering a reduction in dropout rates and increasing the self-sufficiency of the children

About the Millennium Fellow

Phadindra is a committed and caring young student completing his college degree in business administration in Bangladesh. Hailing from Kharang, a rural town in Nepal, Phadindra's life events have deeply shaped his commitment to social change. Growing up in a community with limited access to modern technology, schooling, healthcare, and even simple needs like clean water, he watched the struggles faced by those around him. These events flashed a strong desire in him to make a change, especially for the kids in his town. Throughout his life, Phadindra has been especially worried about the growing problem of drug abuse among young people in Kharang. He knows that these kids, who are the future of the community, are at risk of getting into dangerous habits that could endanger not only their own lives but also the well-being of future generations. Despite the challenges, Phadindra sees great promise in the kids of his town, especially in sports like football, volleyball, and cricket, and he is determined to help them achieve their possibilities. With the help of local clubs, community leaders, and the local government, Phadindra has already begun taking steps to address these problems. He aims to lead projects that teach young people about the risks of drug abuse and provide them with the chances they need to follow their interests and build a better future(SDG 3 and 4). Phadindra sees a job where he can continue to fight for the betterment of his community, eventually adding to larger social development goals on a national and global scale.
