Millennium Fellowship Project: Mutual Aid & Self-Help Initiative
The Mutual Aid Self-Help Group (MASHg) is a youth-led initiative designed to tackle gender inequality through community engagement, storytelling, and empathy-driven activities. The project seeks to create spaces where individuals of all genders can share their experiences, understand one another’s challenges, and collaboratively identify solutions for achieving gender equity.
By combining storytelling, social media campaigns, school outreach, and public engagements such as radio shows. MASHg aims to promote mindset change, compassion, and inclusion across all age groups and social levels. The project envisions a society where equality is achieved not through conflict but through understanding, appreciation, and shared humanity.
