Millennium Fellowship Project: Learning Seed
Our project “The Learning Seed” was designed to help the underprivileged children of a marginalized village named Tior Gaon for our initiative where poverty-stricken families live at a subsistence level. Millennium Fellows of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology participate in this initiative directly in the families to facilitate Quality Education (SDG 4). As we are all students, we, unfortunately, couldn’t do much for the children due to financial constraints. However, we purchased pen, writing sheets and some chocolates as a mood-booster and distributed among the children. Later, we met the parents and engaged in an inclusive discussion about the importance of education as well as its private and social benefits to spread awareness among them. By promoting both educational resources and awareness, Learning Seed plants the foundation for sustainable change, stronger communities, and brighter futures aligned with SDG 4.
