" "I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because I am deeply committed to advancing justice, equity, and inclusion. As someone from Azad Kashmir, I have personally experienced challenges in accessing opportunities, and I do not want other children in my area to face the same struggles I did. Through my experiences leading diversity initiatives, advocating for students, and engaging in legislative and judicial work, I have seen the impact of community driven action. Being a Millennium Fellow allows me to channel my passion and skills toward creating meaningful change for those who need it most." "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Education against Child Labor
I aim to teach all those children near my location who are suffering from any kind of child labor. I am currently studying in a university which is located in a very expensive area. But still many of children in that area could not afford to go school. As a human being and specially student, I feel so bad for them. So I have just started my idea to give education to these children on small level. I gave home tuition to one of the children working outside my university. After that, I started working in an academy to collect some money for his admission in school. After some time me and my mates also collect funds and add my academy's salary for his admission. And we enrolled him in a school. This is the small initiative that I have taken regarding my project but this is not something I can do alone. My aim is to educate all the children in my society and other areas too. For this I need a lot of funds and a platform who can support me. Because this is a big responsibility and it is not something that can be done in days.
