Millennium Fellowship Project: The Light House Project
This project provides short-term training for health students at Haramaya University, equipping them with skills to conduct reliable community-based research on mental health. Through a strong focus on experiential learning, students will gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience by identifying local mental health issues, assessing barriers to care, and proposing actionable solutions. Collaborations with stakeholders will support meaningful interventions, while trained students will act as peer trainers and join ongoing university research, promoting sustainability and a culture of evidence-based action.
Measurable Goals (Aug–Dec 2025):
1. Train 30+ health students in research skills.
2. Guide participants in conducting community-based mental health studies.
3. Identify barriers to mental health care in Harar and propose interventions.
4. Collaborate with local health institutions to implement interventions.
5. Establish a peer network to expand research training.
6. Connect trained participants with Haramaya University research projects as assistants.
