" I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it gives me the platform to turn ideas into meaningful action, empower my peers, and contribute to positive change in my community. I do the work I do because I believe in the power of youth-driven solutions to tackle pressing social challenges and create a better future for all. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: UNIPRENEUAR
UNI-PRENEUR is a project created to help university students start and grow small businesses. Many students have good ideas but do not know where to begin, so this program gives them the skills and support they need. Through workshops, market days, mentorship, and pitch events, students learn how to plan, manage, and improve their business ideas.
The aim of UNI-PRENEUR is to help students become more creative, confident, and able to support themselves during and after school. The project encourages students to think like entrepreneurs and use their talents to create real opportunities for themselves and their communities.
