" "Growing up in a marginalized community along the India–Bangladesh border has shaped my determination to work for equality and sustainable development. The Millennium Fellowship offers a unique platform to enhance my leadership, research, and critical thinking skills while collaborating with global change makers. I am excited to transform my ideas into tangible actions aligned with the UNAI principles and SDGs, creating a lasting positive impact in my community and beyond." "

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.
