Millennium Fellowship Project: Addressing Wellness and Equity

Addressing Wellness & Equity (A.W.E.) is a nonprofit committed to breaking down barriers in healthcare access, particularly in underserved and remote communities. Our initiative focuses on tackling the inequities in access to medical technology and resources, driven by the urgent need for affordable and timely healthcare. We mobilize funds, support club chapters globally, and build a network of dedicated volunteers to drive programs in four key areas: PPE & Medical Supplies, Health & Hygiene, Patient Comfort, and Mental Health. We partner with local businesses and organizations to raise awareness, engage communities, and expand our reach. Our mission is to bridge the healthcare gap by ensuring that advanced medical technologies and supplies are accessible to those in need, ultimately promoting health equity and striving toward a future where quality healthcare is universal.
