Millennium Fellowship Project: Empower Skills for Change

Empower Skills for Change is a project under the Millennium Fellowship aimed at supporting underprivileged individuals by providing access to skill development workshops. The initiative addresses the challenges of poverty and unemployment by introducing participants to various vocational skills that can enhance their employability and self-reliance. These workshops focus on skill identification, training opportunities, and financial literacy, including micro-loan and financial aid options to help participants start small businesses. With a goal to engage over 300 participants and empower at least 50 individuals to launch their ventures or pursue advanced training, the project aligns with SDGs 1, 4, 8, and 10. Through this initiative, we strive to foster self-sustainability and economic growth, promoting social and financial inclusion in the community.
