" Human beings are much bigger than just making money'' it's a quote by Noble Laureate Dr Muhammad Yunus with which I resonate deeply. I believe as a privileged member who can access more than basic human rights, I have a greater responsibility towards the underprivileged to make a positive impact in their lives.
And Millennium Fellowship is giving me the opportunity to use a bigger platform to work for my goal by connecting to more like-minded people and practicing my skills. By joining the fellowship, I want to leverage my knowledge and passion to address pressing global issues and create a more equitable and sustainable future. "
