Millennium Fellowship Project: Empowering Beyond Classrooms
The social impact tour to the Gidan Kwano Primary School community focused on empowering primary school students through education and well-being initiatives. The project addressed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 (Good Health and Well-being), 4 (Quality Education), and 5 (Gender Equality). During the visit, 70 students were engaged in interactive sessions on technology, personal hygiene, menstrual health, and career guidance. Girls were specifically taught about breaking gender stereotypes to inspire confidence and equality. Additionally, 24 books and 20 pencils were distributed to enhance learning opportunities and support educational development. The school community actively participated in the initiative, with two teachers and the Head Master welcoming the team and organizing the students to ensure smooth engagement and continuity of the project. The pupils were happy and motivated, as reflected in their smiles and excitement during the activities. Moving forward, we promised the students to visit from time to time. Plans include establishing a mentorship program and exploring partnerships to provide consistent educational and health resources to the students. Despite initial logistical challenges, such as coordinating schedules with the school community, the experience taught us the importance of effective communication and planning, which will help us improve future initiatives. This project was a humbling and joyful reminder of the incredible opportunity we have to create positive social change within our local community. Witnessing the students’ excitement and motivation reaffirmed our belief that even small efforts can spark big dreams and inspire brighter futures. Together, we can continue to make a difference and build a world where every child has the tools and support to thrive.
