" "An interest in health equity and deep belief that health is a fundamental human right and not a privileged is what fuels my drive. I am excited to amplify my impact, collaborate with key stakeholders and bring sustainable change to pressing health challenges in communities around me using the opportunity of the fellowship." "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Healthy Living Initiative
Our project is all about ensuring everyone has access to quality health care and health education, regardless of their socioeconomic status and living situation. The Healthy Living Initiative aims to bridge the gap in healthcare of rural communities and to educate and encourage members of the community to take charge of their health and make better health choices. We want to work together with members of the community and health care workers to ensure positive results for years to come. I want to use the opportunity that Millennium Fellowship is going to provide to connect with like minded people in my campus .
