" "I'm excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it’s a chance to learn, share, and grow alongside other young leaders who care about making real change. For me, this work is personal—I know what it’s like to face barriers in education, and I'm driven to create opportunities so that every student, no matter their background, can dream bigger and achieve more."

Millennium Fellowship Project: Youth Empowerment Project
The project was set to encourage students in secondary schools in our community to remind them of the value of education, but also motivate them to continue pursuing their studies. We would give them tips on how to succeed in school, but also given them direction on their road to further studies.
