" I'm excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it offers a platform to grow, collaborate, and advance the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly child rights, protection, and gender equality. I am passionate about empowering the girl child, convinced that with the right mentorship, resources, and opportunities, they can exceed the world’s expectations. My own journey was shaped by people who believed in me, and now I'm committed to believing in, supporting, and amplifying the dreams and potential of the next generation. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Flow Without Fear

Flow Without Fear is a project that targets adolescence/ secondary school girls at rural communities or public secondary schools. It's all about educating and helping girls in these underserved communities learn about their periods in a healthy, open way, and making sure they have what they need to manage them safely. Many girls miss school during their periods because they can't afford pads or feel embarrassed about it. I want to solve this problem by organizing interactive and fun workshops, where we talk honestly about menstrual health, particularly the alarm symptoms that could be indicative of disease processes of female reproductive system; clear up common myths, and teach how to make reusable pads. We'll also give out reusable pad kits and train some active students to keep the teaching going and provide them a means they could contact us even after the project ends. This project is in-line with SDGs (3 & 5).
