" "A problem becomes easier to solve when it is well understood. I am on a mission to contribute a significant quota in restoring the integrity of our planet by getting people to imbibe healthier and more sustainable practices. However,this is a complex problem and without a clear understanding of its current status and the global interventions that are been made,I may be working against the tide. So, I am very excited to be a Millennium Fellow because I believe I will gain the clarity that I need and that my raw ideas will be refined into more effective solutions to the problems that I am set to address starting from my immediate community".
