" From my birth till now I was raised while being told that a great person for the community is the one who grows in that community and works hard to serve for the better of the community. This has grown in my mind as my personal principal. I work always aiming to serve the communities. This has been a fuel to my passion in sustainability of communities. Millennium Fellowship is my platform of working collaboratively with other like minded people to achieve the goal of better communities through serving them while focusing to SDGs. "
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.
