" Being a Millennium Fellow is an incredible opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about driving meaningful change. This fellowship offers a platform to amplify efforts in advocating for equal educational opportunities and contributing to impactful projects that align with a vision for a more equitable world. The work is driven by a deep belief that every student, regardless of their background, deserves the chance to pursue their dreams without barriers, and there is a strong commitment to making that vision a reality. "
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.
