" Growth in knowledge and creativity accompanied with capacity development and social engagement. This has helped me aim at becoming better given an opportunity. Seeing transformation in the community and a realisation of the need to build one another is breathtaking and satisfying. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Save the future
Save the future is a project that is looking at salvaging the young generation of the origin of South Sudan in and around South Sudan. I realised that teenagers are being affected by the results of the continuous wars in South Sudan. As a result, there are many teenage pregnancies and marriages that have affected the social economic growth of the nation of South Sudan. This has pictured a damaged future that is embodied with high rate of poverty. We aim at carrying out activities like seminars, school talks, community conferences, radio talk shows to reach out and hear from the people that we are intending to help. This project is also looking at engaging with the parents and elders of the community so as they are sensitised about the dangers of embracing vices such as drug dealing, early pregnancies and marriages, school drop outs etc.
About the Millennium Fellow
Kwaje Asunta Aggrey is a South Sudanese student of law in Uganda. She has been encouraged to pursue and complete her studies by December 2025 and be able to return to settle in her country where she will be engaging into community transformational activities to include and not limited to sensitising and creating awareness about women, teenage mothers and children rights. South Sudan has faced a lot of disturbances because of the continuous civil wars that have affected the economic and social welfare of the entire country. While in Uganda, Asunta has been able to engage with refugees through her leadership opportunities in the different spheres. She has also engaged with urban refugee mothers who are facing challenges with raising their children in the fast growing society of Uganda and the quick advancing social media which they are ignorant about. Kwaje Asunta is passionate and is dedicated to growing her knowledge and skills so that she can be in position to change the her nation through advocating for a society free from the effects of these wars hence a better world.
