" Art is a powerful communication tool which can be used to cultivate a culture of creative and innovative thinking. The Millennium Fellowship will make my social impact more tangible and aligned with the UNAI principles and SDGs. The fellowship will also help me fine tune my leadership skills and my vision of using art as an Heirloom of knowledge. I am excited to unlearn, learn, network and grow during this cohort! "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Sustainable Water, Environmental Education Project (SWEEP)

The aim of the project is to ensure women in the market place practice clean hygiene as they work and also to ensure the marketplace has better waste management, clean water live and work in a sanitary environment. This will need engaging of stakeholders and the council to not neglect the marketplace and ensure even the marketeers have proper systems of waste collection and disposal as well as easy access to clean water.

Her heart for art, nature, children and the underpriveleged led her to volunteer at orphanages, intern as a climate change ambassador, health inspector and work with organisations that focus on health, human consumption, climate change, etcetera from grade school.
Chisambo plans to continue using her storytelling to and develop necessary skills to make an impact that will inspire others to do likewise.
