" I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because I believe in the power of innovation and collaboration to drive meaningful change. Technology and storytelling are my tools and I want to use them to bridge gaps, amplify voices, and create solutions that matter. This fellowship is a chance to learn, grow and turn ideas into impact alongside inspiring change makers which without support might not be possible. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: প্রজেক্ট - এখানেই শুরু
এখানেই শুরু is a social initiative under SDG 03: Good Health and Well-Being, aimed at addressing the financial barriers to accessing healthcare in Bangladesh. A significant portion of the population struggles to afford medical treatment due to high out-of-pocket (OOP) expenses, which account for over 67% of total health expenditure (World Bank, 2024). Our project focuses on raising awareness, promoting affordable healthcare access, and bridging the gap between underprivileged communities and available medical resources.
Through surveys, hospital visits, and community engagement, এখানেই শুরু identifies real-life challenges faced by patients and families in meeting healthcare costs. By highlighting these issues, we aim to advocate for policy attention and sustainable solutions that ensure healthcare becomes a right, not a privilege, for every individual in Bangladesh.

I have a deep love for writing , knowing and researching and always eager to explore new ideas and express them creatively. Technology fascinates me, but so does storytelling and I enjoy blending logic with imagination. Whether coding or writing, I put my curiosity and dedication into everything I do. My goal is to combine my technical skills and passion for writing to make an impact in both fields.
