" Passion for rural healthcare and community service, guided by public health principles, drive my studies and my work. Being a part of the Millennium Fellowship will enhance these skills collaboratively. The knowledge I gain from the Millennium Fellowship will make my impact on rural health systems and community outreach more effective and aligned with the UNAI principles and SDGs. I am excited to increase my practical competence by envisioning new ways of improving healthcare access and distribution in underserved areas. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Smile Charities

Smile charities is all about putting a smile to the orphaned children by planning for regular visits to various children homes ensuring that these kids do not lack anything. We play with them, cook, taking to them the necessary requirements like food, clothing, sanitary towels for the girls so that they have a comfortable stay. After visiting these families as the smile charities we normally plant trees signifying the beauty of the environment.
