" "Loneliness is the ultimate poverty, Abigail Van Buren once said. If poor people are left behind without an updated information and knowledge about their health, then their loneliness will bring them fetal and ultimate poverty. Therefore, I believe that, in doing different workshops that will aim at updating them with health knowledge, and making follow up on the impact of workshops, will help them move from poverty to well being because some diseases will be diagnosed early thereby reducing mortality and increasing manpower then fight against poverty."

About the Millennium Fellow
Egron Saul Ntibabara is a brilliant, astute and optimistic young and energetic third year Medical student at St. Francis University College of Health and Allied Sciences (SFUCHAS). He was born in Tanzania in a local village flooded with poor standards of living among natives, his family being one of the poverty victims in that village. He got his primary, secondary and high school education in public schools with much struggles since his parents were unable to meet all the needs he needed. When he joined at university he was passionate and dedicated about social actions especially when he realized that he can do something vital by using his career to help and protect the health, and health outcomes of poor standards living families. Since then, He has been doing different workshops that puts his contribution on people's lives as far as United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) is concerned. Egron aspires to become a professional and in his professional field he wants to cultivate these advocacies further as far as he can, as long as he's joined the Millennium Fellowship.
