" My passion for medicine and advocacy is driven by a desire to make healthcare more equitable and to empower women in my community. The Millennium Fellowship excites me because it offers a platform to collaborate with like-minded change-makers, sharpen my leadership, and align my efforts more closely with the SDGs. Through this experience, I hope to strengthen my ability to create impact both locally and globally, advancing health and gender equality with compassion, service, and purpose. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: PENTAPACT: 5 goals one commitment
Project Pentapact is an initiative that aims to work on 5 SDGs we have identified in our local community that needs to be addressed.
As a campus, our target locations include a school and a primary healthcare center. For the school we are working towards providing some basic educational materials, addressing the rising issue of gambling practice, discrimination against girls, handwashing and menstrual hygiene. For the primary healthcare center we are working towards providing some basic equipments routinely used in practice to maintain aseptic procedures, free hand sanitizers to the people we meet on the day of the outreach and also awareness on mental health.
The target is to bridge the gap that exists between knowledge and access in local communities.
