" I am very excited to be a member of the Millennium Fellowship. This opportunity will help me develop essential skills to advance my main mission: fighting malnutrition worldwide.
My commitment to this work stems from my childhood experiences. I grew up in a community where access to a balanced diet was a significant challenge. Many children I was raised alongside suffered from malnutrition. Seeing children with distended stomachs and discolored hair deeply affected me and inspired my dedication to this cause. These experiences led me to pursue a degree in Food Science at my university and to seek out every opportunity related to nutrition and food security. This is how I discovered the Millennium Fellowship, and I am grateful for the chance to turn my passion into meaningful action. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Green Giving Project
Green Giving project is a project which was focused on two main SDGs, zero hunger and climate action, in this project we planted and distributed over 1000 fruit trees in our community while prioritizing mothers and the elderly. It is a project that impacted over 500 people in our community, and we have been following up with the families who received the fruit trees and the results are promising.
