" I am passionate about using behavioral science to drive meaningful social change. I am motivated by the opportunity to use my skills to address global challenges and empower communities, while working with peers who share my commitment to making a positive impact. As Nelson Mandela once said, 'What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Eco-Clean Community
Eco-Clean Communities is a vibrant campus initiative that fosters environmental sustainability and community engagement. Through a multifaceted approach, we tackle environmental challenges by organizing local clean-up drives and implementing innovative recycling programs. Our aim is not only to beautify our surroundings but also to inspire a deeper understanding of environmental issues and empower individuals to take meaningful action. From picking up litter in nearby parks to advocating for eco-friendly practices in campus facilities, our team is committed to making a tangible difference in our community. By bringing together students we create a collaborative environment where everyone can contribute to building a cleaner, greener future. Through our efforts, we aim to instil a sense of environmental stewardship and cultivate a culture of sustainability that extends beyond our campus borders. Our project was funded by Beacon NGO.
