" Being a Millennium Fellow excites me because it's an opportunity to translate my passion for mental health and global well-being into tangible action. This platform allows me to connect with like-minded individuals worldwide, amplifying our collective impact on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Green Roots
Green roots is a sustainable tree-planting initiative intended to improve biodiversity and restore ecosystems. The primary aim of Green Roots is to combat deforestation and soil erosion while providing a greener, healthier environment for local communities. Trees play an essential role in carbon sequestration, reducing the urban heat island effect, and supporting local biodiversity. Our ultimate goal is not just to plant trees but to instill in the local community an appreciation for conservation efforts, allowing them to become active stewards of their environment.
