Copperbelt University | Kitwe, Zambia | Advancing SDG 4, SDG 17 & UNAI 6
" As a dental surgery student, I am passionate about early detection and prevention of oral cancer—an often overlooked yet life-threatening disease. The Millennium Fellowship offers a unique platform to amplify awareness, advocate for accessible care, and align my efforts with the UNAI principles and SDGs. Through collaboration and leadership, I aim to create sustainable change in oral health education and community outreach. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: MentWell
The Copperbelt University Millennium Fellowship class of 2025 did
a group project called MentWell. A student-Led project addressing mental health challenges among medical students at Copperbelt University. Recognizing the high academic pressure and the stress
associated with failing tests (which often leads to part-time status), the project created safe spaces for dialogue, peer support and shared
coping strategies. Through interactive sessions and peer to peer
engagement, MentWell directly reached over 100 students,
fostering resilience and promoting mental wellbeing during exam periods.
