Millennium Fellowship Project: The Rouge Project
The Rouge Project is a mental health focused project. Born and growing up in an environment where the use of substance by secondary student is rampant and has led to dropouts of some of this students, I have always desired to make a change to that, this experience as well as my experience as a student Nurse in a neuropsychiatry hospital are the reasons why this project is dear to me.
The goal of the Rogue Project is to ensure that secondary school students have better understanding of the dangers of substance, find alternative ways to cope with stresses of life and reduction in the number of secondary school dropouts due to substance use.
