" My drive is to do something intentional towards the pursuit of the common good, using my passion-driven finance career and, ultimately, political participation to make a real difference. "
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.
