" I am driven by the belief that innovation and technology can create tangible opportunities for marginalized communities, especially women and children. Becoming a Millennium Fellow excites me because it offers a collaborative platform to enhance my leadership, scale my social impact, and turn ideas into real-world solutions aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Through this fellowship, I hope to strengthen my ability to translate vision into action, empower communities, and inspire systemic change. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Project GLO
GLO is an AI powered platform founded by Millennium Fellow Dinah Masanda that connects homeless and marginalized women and children to critical support services including shelter, legal aid, mental health care, and inclusive employment. The project addresses systemic gaps in access by using technology to match individuals with verified service providers efficiently and safely. During the Millennium Fellowship period, GLO focused on strengthening service partnerships, expanding referrals, and improving trauma informed, gender sensitive support pathways to enable social reintegration and economic dignity.
