" "I'm thrilled to be joining the Millennium Fellowship because I'm driven to bridge the generational awareness gap on mental health. Through this opportunity, I can further my work with 'সমতার বাক্স' (Box of Equity), providing material and educational support to underprivileged communities. The fellowship will equip me with the tools and network to expand my impact and promote a more compassionate, interconnected society." "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Box of Equality
The "Box of Equality" initiative addresses key challenges in donation practices, including negligence, mismatched contributions, lack of tracking, and limited motivation for regular giving. By promoting thoughtful and need-based donations, it ensures that each contribution has a meaningful impact.
The project emphasizes preparing the next generation to practice responsible giving through gamified systems and awareness programs. Donors can choose items from an online inventory or assemble personalized boxes, which are delivered to recipients by a dedicated team. Feedback is collected and shared with donors, who also earn "Charity Points" for their contributions, motivating consistent involvement.
With a focus on transparency, accountability, and inclusivity, this initiative strives to make charitable giving a regular and impactful activity, fostering a culture of equality and empathy in society.
