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.
