" "As a Millennium Fellow, I'm eager to join a community of changemakers who share my passion for creating a more just and equitable world. I'm driven by a desire to bridge the gaps in education and economic opportunities, and to empower marginalized communities to develop. Through my work, I hope to leave a lasting impact and inspire positive effect of change that resonates for generations to come." - Karyne Martins Araujo "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Economic Circularity and Waste Management

The idea behind my project is to reduce poverty in my hometown by creating a sustainable economic development environment that fosters economic circularity and effective waste management. Through this initiative, I aim to provide quality education for middle to high school students and essential nutrition for vulnerable groups, empowering the next generation to adopt sustainable practices and minimize waste. My goal is to create a closed-loop system that conserves resources and reduces waste, thereby decreasing the community's ecological footprint. Furthermore, I will provide incentives and support for higher-level education, nurturing academic excellence and sustainable development leadership.
