" I am super excited to be a Millennium Fellow. It’s a program I've always wanted to be a part of, and seeing the impact it has on my community and the world is inspiring. I also can’t wait to learn from other fellows, share ideas, and grow together. I do the work I do because I care about children having proper nutrition, and even in small ways, I hope to inspire them to keep pushing forward. "

Reach and engage at least 50 students in one secondary school.
Raise at least ₦50,000 to provide teaching aids, learning materials, and student support.
Conduct nutrition education workshops with students, parents, and teachers.
Gather positive feedback from participants on improved awareness and behavior towards healthy eating.
