" "Believing in social change is a deep personal commitment, a call to listen with empathy, to act with courage and to lead with heart. It means recognising the struggles around as not as distant problems but a shared human experience that demands our attention and care. When you truly believe in social change it becomes part of who you are, it fuels your passion to uplift others and keeps you going even in difficulties. Every voice must be heard and every life must have dignity." "
Millennium Fellowship Project: SusOnTheGo
SusOnTheGO is the organisation based at the University of Forth Hare that mainly aims to tackle the littering problem our campus faces and using our solutions to address student hunger. It aims to educate students on the importance of recycling and making use of bins in the form of seminars. One of the biggest problems we aim to tackle is the waste management system our campus lacks. Not only that,the ultimate goal is to introduce a recycling system in student residences as well and this is to be achieved by reaching out to other waste management companies for assistance with obtaining the recycle bins. The waste that is to be collected is to be sold for profit, and that profit is to be used to address issues like student hunger using food banks.we also aim to implement a gardening project
