Millennium Fellowship Project: Hygiene Promotion and Cholera Prevention Initiative
In response to the ongoing cholera outbreak and increased water contamination risks following recent floods in Maiduguri, our Millennium Fellowship campus team launched the Hygiene Promotion and Cholera Prevention Initiative. This project aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, focusing on clean water and sanitation, as it aims to improve personal hygiene awareness and promote safe water practices among students in high-risk areas. The floodwaters have damaged boreholes built by the government, leaving many communities without access to safe water. As a result, residents rely on alternative sources, such as rivers and wells, which are now contaminated, increasing the spread of cholera.
About the Millennium Fellow
Omotosho Mayokun Banke is a 3rd year medical student at the university of Maiduguri Borno State where she currently stays temporarily. She has always had a drive to make an impact in her community and society at large but has not really gotten an opportunity to do so. She believes this is an avenue to being out the potentials in her, and be of help especially to her immediate community.
