" " Ever since I was young, I have always wanted to inspire others, be it through the way I study, do my projects, or do any social work. Being from a country that has been independent for the past 78 years, some sections of society do not get to experience that freedom. This is the sole reason why I have decided to work on my project to provide food, education, and sanitation facilities to the underprivileged and make this world a better place to live in as well as have a greater impact by becoming a Millennium Fellow."

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.
