" Leadership and Collaboration, being part of the Millennium Fellowship exposes me to the same environment that past leaders have been in. THe collaboration with like minded people to pursue the implementation of SDGs that will better the entire human race and not just me is a great opportunity to make a difference and a way to give back to my community. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Let's talk about it
Tribal divisions are problematic in society, and in Zimbabwe between the 2 major tribes(Ndebele and Shona). My project would seek to be an online platform due to the online world we live in, allowing Zimbabweans to get a platform where there can be a topic which one tribe feels they've been affected by the other and such issues can be addressed. I believe most people are usually unhappy as they believe no one is listening to them and such a platform would grant people and ear, so they can express what they fear. This platform can even be scaled to go beyond just tribal issues, but even legislative issues too.
