" As someone deeply committed to Quality Education, I believe that fostering empathy, perseverance, and leadership in young minds can change the trajectory of their futures. Education is more than a tool; it’s the key to unlocking potential and creating lasting impact. I am driven by the desire to help as many children as possible, empowering them to rise above challenges and become compassionate leaders in their communities. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Project ZORA
Project ZORA aims to uplift underprivileged children and create a brighter future. By empowering underserved children with support and opportunities, we focus on advancing SDGs 3, 4, and 5—promoting health and well-being, quality education, and gender equality. Currently, we are teaching students of an MCD government school, providing them with essential learning experiences. Through engaging activities and creative teaching methods, Project ZORA helps children develop crucial life skills, build confidence, and unlock their full potential. We have conducted sessions on public speaking, team-building, collaboration skills, yoga, and mindfulness. Going forward, we plan to continue offering impactful sessions on gender equality, good touch and bad touch, and other essential life skills that will equip children to confidently face life’s challenges.
