Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Kulo
Project Kulo is a youth-led initiative focused on addressing Nepal’s water and land management crises. This project is dedicated to researching water security, sanitation, and socio-political disparities through secondary data analysis. With the support of 36 volunteers, Project Kulo compiles existing research, uncovers untold stories of marginalized communities, and develops actionable insights for policy advocacy. Our aim is to ensure equitable access to water resources and sustainable solutions for communities most affected by these challenges.
