Millennium Fellowship Project: 1Change 4All
1Change 4All is an independent project led by HCT students. The initiative aligns with SDG 2: Zero Hunger, SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, and SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities by focusing on hydroponics, recycling, and urban gardening. The project aims to promote sustainable agricultural practices, raise environmental awareness, and inspire responsible urban living. During the Millennium Fellowship period (August–December 2025), 1Change 4All will run a community campaign engaging HCT students, faculty, and the wider community. The campaign will include awareness workshops, hands-on hydroponic demonstrations, and recycling drives, to reach at least 200 participants and foster long-term commitment to sustainability
