" "My passion for oncology and healthcare advocacy comes from seeing lives changed or lost because care came too late.Being a Millennium Fellow means joining a network of change makers who believe that health care should be a right not a privileged and also meeting like-minded leaders who share my commitment to SDG 3. Also it allows me to transform my passion for oncology and healthcare advocacy into sustainable solutions that save lives.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Pad a Girl Child Initiative
The Pad A Girl Child Initiative is a project dedicated to promoting menstrual health and hygiene, particularly among young girls experiencing their periods for the first time. The initiative aims to educate them about puberty, proper hygiene practices, and to dispel the stigma and misconceptions surrounding menstruation.
Beyond education, the project also seeks to reach underserved communities by providing menstrual hygiene products to girls who cannot afford them, ensuring that no girl misses school or feels ashamed simply because of her period.
