Millennium Fellowship Project: Endometriosis awareness
This project is aimed at raising awareness about endometriosis and promoting early detection to enable timely treatment of the condition. It focuses on girls starting from age 13, particularly those who have begun menstruating, to ensure they understand that menstruation should not be a source of extreme pain or a barrier to productivity.
The project is currently in the implementation stage.The goal is to educate society about the condition, debunk myths around painful periods, and encourage medical consultation. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can prevent complications, including the unnecessary removal of reproductive organs, and ensure women retain control over their reproductive health. The project emphasizes that menstrual health is a right, and no woman should suffer in silence.
About the Millennium Fellow
Delories mideva is a young girl born and raised in kenya currently pursuing a medical course at mount Kenya university .As a girl I have witnessed girls being put or undergoing shame during the monthly cycle due to lack of sanitary towels causing them to miss school or not to participate in activities.
The greatest challenge is period pain which had been normalized and that was my drive and passion to apply for the Millennium Fellowship where I could advocate for period pain awareness,,striving for a pain free cycle one girl at a time.
