Millennium Fellowship Project: Voices Unheard
Voices unheard tends to address the issues surrounding people not being able to speak up because of stigmatization. The project aimed at addressing reason why students should speak up whenever there's an issue and to also create enabling environment so others can speak up as well.
About the Millennium Fellow
Obapetu Oluwatoyin Rebecca is a young, vibrant, and globally oriented medical student with a passion for social impact. Born in Kano State, Nigeria, she is currently studying at Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. Her interest in community service began in Primary 5, where she learned about NGOs in social studies. She started volunteering in her 100 level at the university, which further fueled her passion for women's and children's rights.
Rebecca's selfless service has led her to establish her own NGO, Happy Zone Initiative, which reflects her desire to build a better community. Through this initiative, she has carried out projects on mental health in schools, online advocacy programs, and visitations to orphanages. She continues to volunteer with various NGOs (online and on-site) in Ekiti and beyond.
Rebecca's goal is to combine her passion for social impact with her medical profession to contribute to the development of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
