" I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it provides me with a platform to amplify my passion for eradicating poverty and ensuring food for all. Through collaborative learning and shared action, I hope to strengthen my leadership skills and expand the impact of my medical and community outreach work. The Fellowship will enable me to align my efforts more closely with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in health, poverty eradication, and zero hunger, while equipping me to create lasting change in my community and beyond.

Millennium Fellowship Project: PENTAPACT: 5 goals one commitment
*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.
