" "Being accepted into the Millennium Campus Fellowship is an incredible honour. It provides me with a powerful platform to not only develop myself as a leader but also to expand the impact of my project on menstrual hygiene. I see this fellowship as a chance to amplify voices that are often unheard in my part of the world and to shed light on an issue that has long been overlooked in many communities. This opportunity allows me to channel my passion for women's health into meaningful sustainable action. The fellowship also offers me the opportunity to collaborate with like minded change makers from across the world, provides me with a unique opportunity to interact with peers and mentors from diverse backgrounds, gain new insights and enhance the impact of my initiative. Most of all, I am excited about the chance to contribute to a global movement that values health, dignity and equity for all." "
