" Experiencing something deeply can ignite a genuine and powerful passion, one that flows from personal understanding and heartfelt connection.
I am passionate about addressing period shame not only because I have witnessed it, but also because I have personally experienced it. Being part of the Millennium Campus Fellowship means one thing to me: "my advocacy on this issue will be taken more seriously". I hope to use the skills and networks I gain through the fellowship to create meaningful social impact, empowering girls across the nation and fostering a society where menstruation is understood, accepted, and free from stigma.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Oral Health, Key to Wellness
This Millennium Project focused on ORAL HEALTH AWARENESS and the importance of proper dental care for overall well-being. Activities included educating students about correct brushing techniques, the need for regular dental check-ups, and the dangers of poor oral hygiene. Posters were displayed to promote healthy practices such as reducing sugary foods and maintaining daily oral care routines.
The project helped improve awareness and encouraged healthier habits for better oral and general health.
