Millennium Fellowship Project: Bara Naam Banao
"Bara Naam Banao" (Make a Big Name for Yourself) aimed to inspire underprivileged students in Pakistan to pursue higher education. The project addressed the gap between primary/secondary education and tertiary education, emphasizing the importance of breaking the cycle of poverty through higher education. As part of the Millennium Fellowship, the team conducted physical sessions at two schools: Indus School and Little Master School, interacting with 8th and 10th graders. They focused on motivating students to envision a brighter future through education, highlighting its financial and societal benefits.
