" I'm excited to be a Millennium Fellow because I feel it is a chance to turn ideas into action, connect with like-minded and passionate change makers from around the world, and work together toward building a future that's more full of hope. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: EmpowerED
Our project focused on taking advocacy and practical support beyond the traditional classrooms to reach those for whom systematic inequality has closed the door on fundamental human rights.
The core of the initiative was to establish a direct, localised educational support system, building on prior experience volunteering with NGOs and teaching at government-aided schools.
The core aim was to launch comprehensive workshops focusing on literacy, numeracy, and life skills.
