" I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it offers the opportunity to transform ideas into impactful solutions while collaborating with like-minded change makers.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Emancipation
Project Emancipation Africa is about liberating the minds of the young from the faulty mindset most of them already have. Most of the young people have been taught to go to school, get good grades, get a decent job and move up the corporate ladder. Retire at the age of 65-70 years. Leave the rest of your live on your 401k and pension. Then, die. However, there's more to live than this. The normal pathway is the reason a lot of people, especially in Africa, are poor. This is where Project Emancipation Africa comes in. We educate the younger generation on the benefit of having valuable skills in their arsenal, adding weight to their certificate and being more valuable in the society. And since it is a value exchange market, the more value you offer, the more value (in form of money or shares or crypto assets) you get. Thereby, addressing poverty in the country and continent at large. This also enables us to spread our wings and impact more lives. This will make it faster to reach the goal of ending poverty through the collective impact framework.
