" Impact and growth drive my thinking and are what keep me doing what I am doing. I believe that empowering others through education reveals their potential to transform communities. I saw how access to quality education, and the lack of it, can shape the trajectory of the entirety of lives. This inspired me to dedicate my efforts to building capacity and creating opportunities for others to learn, grow, and lead. The Millennium Fellowship excites me because it offers a platform to shape my skills, collaborate with other passionate young leaders from around the world, and amplify my impact in advancing education and empowerment in communities. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: EduGo
My community is made up of around 400 people. One of the biggest challenges we face is the lack of access to quality education. This gap has left many young people with few options for their future. In recent years, many youths, some as young as 12, have dropped out of school to work as motorbike riders for wealthier outsiders who own the bikes. While this provides short-term income, it has led to serious issues like rising school dropout rates, increased accidents, and even theft. This situation has troubled me deeply. For the past two years, I’i've been thinking about how to create a lasting solution using the knowledge and skills I’i've gained so far. That’s how EduGo was born. EduGo is an education-centered initiative designed to help young people in my community stay in school and prepare for a better future. The goal is to provide mentorship, basic literacy and numeracy support, and practical skills training that connects education to real-life opportunities. By building a system that promotes continuous learning, personal growth, and access to better alternatives, EduGo aims to give young people the tools they need to thrive without having to abandon their education for unsafe, short-term jobs.
