" Technology has the power to connect people across the world, breaking barriers and creating opportunities for collaboration and learning. I hope to advance this vision through the Millennium Fellowship, using digital tools to inspire and empower others, and to foster a global community where innovation drives positive change and a more sustainable future. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: LitterLens
LitterLens is a youth-led initiative that empowers young people across Lebanon to fight pollution using technology.
Through a simple crowdsourced system, participants take photos of polluted sites, tag their location, and submit them through a Google Form. The data is automatically collected, organized, and displayed on an interactive Google My Maps pollution map of Lebanon.
Measurable goals I hope to accomplish:
Engagement: Reach at least 50 youth participants submitting pollution data through the Google Form.
Mapping: Collect 100+ geo-tagged pollution reports across at least 5 Lebanese regions.
Cleanup Impact: Organize 2 cleanup events, each engaging 20+ volunteers.
