" Passion for innovation and sustainable engineering drives my work, as I strive to design solutions that address global challenges. Being a Millennium Fellow will empower me to amplify my impact, connect with like-minded change makers, and align my projects with the UNAI principles and SDGs. I am excited to gain new perspectives, strengthen my leadership, and turn ideas into tangible contributions for a more sustainable and equitable future. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Waste Materials for Flood & Urban Agriculture
This project focused on preventing farm flooding and promoting sustainable farming through waste recycling and drainage rehabilitation. I worked with my team to clear blocked drainage channels and repurpose discarded plastic bottles and worn-out tyres that would otherwise be burnt. These materials were filled with sand and used to create planting spaces on limited land areas, turning waste into productive growing beds. The initiative not only reduced flooding risks but also encouraged environmental cleanliness and sustainable urban agriculture practice
