" I'm excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it connects me with a global network of leaders passionate about the Sustainable Development Goals. This opportunity will equip me with essential knowledge and skills to enhance my social impact and drive meaningful change in my community. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Skill Up Project Initiative

The Skill Up initiative is focused on helping people gain important skills by teaching them how to make tote bags. Many individuals either don’t see the value in acquiring new skills or can’t afford the training they need. Our main goal is to empower these individuals by providing them with valuable knowledge and practical skills. By learning to create tote bags, participants not only develop a useful skill but also have the opportunity to become entrepreneurs and earn an income while studying. We believe that when people are equipped with the right skills, they can achieve their goals and positively influence their lives and communities. Through Skill Up, we aim to inspire personal growth and encourage individuals to take control of their futures, ultimately fostering a wave of positive transformation.
