" I believe that the lacking ingredient I need to take my social impact to the next level is collaboration with like-minded individuals who are also passionate about making meaningful impact in their society. Being a millennium fellow would bring me together with a community of change-drivers and as a team I believe we would be able to push beyond our limits. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Overcoming Financial Constraints In Education: Scholarship Opportunities
My project titled “Overcoming financial constraints in education: Scholarship opportunities for all” focuses on Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 4, which is “Quality Education". According to the Global Goals for Sustainable Development, Education liberates the intellect, unlocks the imagination and is fundamental for self-respect. It is the key to prosperity and opens a world of opportunities, making it possible for each of us to contribute to a progressive, healthy society. Learning benefits every human being and should be available to all. Therefore, I have decided to embark on this project to contribute my quota to the advancement of knowledge in my vicinity by opening the eyes of the youth to scholarship opportunities that are able to liberate them from financial constraints stopping them from achieving their academic goals.
