" My passion for addressing gender based violence and empowering women drives my work and learning. Joining the Millennium Fellowship will give me the platform and guidance to transform my ideas into impactful actions, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. I am excited to collaborate with diverse change makers, gain new perspectives, and develop practical skills to create sustainable solutions for vulnerable communities. This fellowship represents an important step in my journey to contribute meaningfully to social justice and equality "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Evergreen
Project Evergreen:
●Our first activity was a *plantation drive* where we collaborated with the Green Youth Club of NDU to plant trees and promote a greener environment.
●The second activity was an *awareness session* in underprivileged schools. In these sessions we educated students about climate change ,its causes, impacts, and the steps that can be taken to address it.
●The third activity was a *cleanup drive* during which we cleaned the environment and encouraged people to take responsibility for keeping their surroundings clean and avoiding pollution.
●In the fourth activity we focused *donations for flood victims* . While carrying out all our activities, we simultaneously collected donations and later provided to support to those affected.
To maximize impact, we also used social media platforms such as Instagram,Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok. Through these we raised awareness by posting pictures, posters and videos highlighting both our activities and ways people can contribute to combating climate change.
