" Community Development is a difficult work and is not something a single person with no platform or voice can do, so I want to do community development and social work as a Millennium Fellow so that I can have a platform from to build a network with like minded people and to interact with professionals and to learn from them about leadership, planning, and other aspects of community development. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Voice for the Voiceless: Animal Well-Being

Voice for the Voiceless: Animal Welfare is a project done to improve the welfare and safety of animals, specifically stray dogs. The goal was to improve the perception of how people view the stray dogs by stressing the importance of treating them with kindness and compassion. We want to create awareness on animal welfare, to generate a sense of shared responsibility within our society, and to create a culture of compassion and love toward them. So we conducted the project in collaboration with Stray Dogs Population Control Center (SDPCC). The main focus of our project was to rescue stray dogs, provide them with shelter and vaccinate them for rabies. We also raised awareness about animal first aid, their protection and safety by inviting vets, all this through seminars arranged by the millennium fellows and volunteers. We also arranged a Volunteering program in collaboration with Stray Dogs Population Control Center (SDPCC). In conclusion, the project helped us and people around us to gain more knowledge and understanding of stray dogs living in the streets of Pakistan and encouraged us to deal with them politely, as they are silent souls seeking kindness; treating them with compassion reflects the humanity within us.
