" Being a Millennium Fellow represents a unique opportunity to amplify my commitment to sustainability and community service on a global scale. This fellowship will enhance my ability to drive meaningful change by connecting with like-minded peers and accessing valuable resources. My passion for advocating public health and environmental stewardship fuels my work, and I am eager to leverage this platform to further align my efforts with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and make a tangible impact. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Rising from the Ashes

In response to the war that occurred in Lebanon and displaced many individuals, our initiative provided immediate humanitarian aid and psychological support. Through collaboration between Millennium Fellows in Beirut and Byblos campuses, we gathered and distributed essential supplies, including food, clothing, and hygiene items. Additionally, we conducted psychological awareness sessions in schools and shelters to help individuals, especially children, cope with trauma and stress. Our efforts not only addressed urgent needs but also fostered resilience and emotional well-being within the displaced community.
