Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Open Book

This project was inspired by the great work the last group of Millennium Fellows did on our campus. For our project, we want to focus on two main things: giving more people access to education and supporting gender equality. Basically, we want to help more young girls in our community get education We’re planning to go on outreach visits where we’ll give out books and writing materials to students who need them, both girls and boys. But we really want to make sure girls aren’t left behind, because we’i've seen that many still don’t get the support they need to stay in school. We also want to go to busy places like markets to talk to parents, especially mums and dads of school-age girls. We’ll have simple conversations about why educating girls is so important, not just for the girls themselves but for their families too. The idea is to connect with people, listen to them, and share useful resources that could help them support their children’s education.
