" "I'm thrilled to be a Millennium Fellow because it's a testament to the power of collective action in driving social change. For me, combating gender-based violence and promoting equality isn't just a cause - it's a personal calling. Having witnessed the devastating effects of gender inequality firsthand, I'm driven to create a world where everyone can thrive without fear of discrimination or violence. This fellowship is a vital step in amplifying my impact and inspiring a new generation of leaders to join the fight for a more just and equitable world." - "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Teach-Each
The “Teach-Each” project, led by Millennium fellows of Gulu university, aims to empower pupils holistically by focusing on health knowledge, career guidance, and environmental conservation. During this phase, we engaged over 300 pupils at Manuel Junior School, impacting their knowledge on personal hygiene, lifestyle habits to prevent non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and environmental stewardship. Key activities included health seminars, career talks, and tree planting. Four trees were planted as a symbolic and practical step toward environmental conservation. With minimal challenges, the project successfully achieved its objectives, and plans are underway to extend its reach to other schools in the community.
