" Volunteering to the community always made me happy and by starting my own project with people with people around me who strive towards the same goals as me motivates me. The need to enable everyone the same quality education as me, drives me to be a Millennium Fellow. Using my skills and knowledge I learn at Millennium Fellow will lead me to spread awareness about the SDG's. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: True Faces Of India
Our project aims to raise awareness about the pressing challenges faced in India and explore small but impactful ways we can contribute to alleviating these issues. By nurturing a sense of collective responsibility we strive to propose practical solutions and encourage active societal participation in addressing these concerns. Through this initiative, we hope to inspire change and empower communities to work towards a better future. Simultaneously we hope to connect with organizations or communities actively involved in dealing with such predicaments. Our mission aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in the areas of Quality Education, Reduced Inequality, and Poverty. We hope to be a voice for the many underrepresented people.
