Millennium Fellowship Project: AdolEssence: The Real Talk
AdolEssence focuses on key aspects of adolescence, including puberty, mental health, personal hygiene, healthy relationships, internet safety, and life skills. Through interactive sessions, workshops, and creative tools, I aim to create safe spaces for open dialogue and learning. This initiative equips adolescents with the knowledge, confidence, and resilience to make informed decisions for their overall well-being.
Measurable Goals (August–December 2025):
1. We will reach at least 200 students across schools in the community.
2. We will conduct 5+ interactive workshops ensuring active participation.
3. We will establish an anonymous question platform in every participating school to address sensitive queries.
4. We will develop and distribute visual learning resources (posters, digital content, handouts).
