University of Ibadan | Ibadan, Nigeria | Advancing SDG 3, SDG 4 & UNAI 9
" I believe that every human needs exposure in different forms. From getting an Education to going for Excursions to see the world in a different light to Leadership exposure, to Entrepreneurial Exposure to Technological Exposure and many more.
Growing up in a community where young girls face teenage pregnancy, school dropouts, and limited opportunities, I am committed to advancing SDG 5 by empowering girls and women. Through my work, I aim to create initiatives that promote awareness, build skills, and open pathways for female empowerment. I believe that when women and girls are given equal chances, entire communities thrive. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: EmpowerHer Project
"As part of our Millennium Campus Fellowship project, we carried out an outreach to three schools serving students living with disabilities (specifically the deaf and hard of hearing). The project focused on Menstrual Hygiene and Health Education, where we educated the students on proper menstrual care, hygiene practices, and body awareness. We distributed sanitary pads and soap to support their hygiene needs. In addition, we held an educational empowerment session aimed at inspiring excellence despite limitations, including the screening of a motivational video by the first female NTA broadcaster living with a disability, now based abroad. This was to promote self-belief, excellence, and inclusion, showing them that disability is not inability.
Our goal was to promote SDG 3 (Good Health & Well-being) and SDG 4 (Quality Education) while fostering dignity, confidence, and inclusive health education."
