" "I've come to understand that what I want to achieve isn't something I can do alone. I need to become more professional and build a stronger network. The Millennium Fellowship programme gives me hope and a vision for working collectively towards a safer, more secure society. I’m excited and thrilled, especially after learning that some of the brightest individuals from my campus have been selected as my peers. I’m eager to collaborate with them, support them, and grow together." "
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.
