" I am honored to be considered for the Millennium Fellowship, a program that embodies the United Nations' call to action. Echoing the sentiments of Ban Ki-moon, the eighth Secretary-General of the United Nations, 'As Millennium Fellows, we need you to lead by example - with empathy, humility, and inclusion as guiding values.' These words resonate deeply with my core beliefs and aspirations, as I strive to uphold the dignity of people and our planet through my commitment to social justice and the Sustainable Development Goals. The opportunity to advance these principles through the Fellowship is not just an honor but a profound responsibility to contribute meaningfully to a global community that seeks to create a better future for all "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Rural Solace: Empowering Empty Nest

About the Millennium Fellow
Gesuiyue Chen, a Chinese student from the Institut d'études politiques de Paris (Sciences Po) Le Havre campus, is pursuing a bachelor of arts focusing on Economics and Sociology. Driven by her personal experiences and insights, she has dedicated herself to charitable endeavors aimed at poverty relief and the care of the elderly. She has generously donated her high school scholarships to the Red Cross and the Disabled Persons' Federation in Luzhou, Sichuan. Academically inclined, Gesuiyue conducted research from February to May 2024 on the social vulnerability and amelioration of empty nesters in China. With the support of the Millennium Fellowship, she hopes to delve deeper into this research and apply her expertise to make a tangible difference for vulnerable groups in society.
