Millennium Fellowship Project: Stash and Slay
Stash and Slay is saving group i founded to help comrades in my campus. It is a group of goal oriented individuals whose purpose is saving and financial stability in some way. It is a side hustle for us as we get to save for something small or big and may even alleviate day to day money struggles. I realized that a lot of students are really struggling to even get food as the famous phrase' kuinama' which means skipping meals among my peers. We have been working on it for a period now and i can say everyone has benefited from the cycle. Ihope to expand Stash and Slay to accommodate more and more students so together we can eradicate poverty , support economic growth and good health and wellbeing all of which are sustainable development goals.
