Millennium Fellowship Project: Enhancing Menstrual Health via Recycling, Antimicrobial Awareness
This project is a combination of three similar projects of other Millennium fellows. These include my project on climate change (trash to cash through recycling), Antimicrobial resistance, and also girl-child health education. By combining these very different and specific goals we were able to discover some areas of overlap which give rise to our general topic. The Project therefore educate girl-child on how to maintain an hygenic and healthy lifestyle through proper waste disposer (recycling) and through upholding Antimicrobial stewardship.
