" I'm genuinely excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it aligns so deeply with who I am and why I do the work I do. Growing up I saw firsthand how health challenges and limited resources can hold communities back. that's what drives me to aspire to build healthier spaces. This fellowship is not just an opportunity it's a commitment to uplift others through knowledge and action. "
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.
