" I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it offers a platform to collaborate with like-minded individuals who share my passion for creating equitable healthcare solutions. I believe that by empowering communities and championing children's health, we can build a healthier, and a more equitable future where every child has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their circumstances. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Keep Kids Alive
Keep kids Alive is an outreach program designed to address some important needs of children living in impoverished conditions.
We will conduct free medical checkups, ensuring that each child receives necessary health assessments, including dental cleaning. We also aim to cover the medical expenses of children facing health challenges.
We will engage with the parents of these children, providing educational sessions that emphasize the importance of maintaining their children's health.
The outreaches will also include distribution of food items, toothbrushes, and toothpastes for preventive care.
