" The Millennium Fellowship will provide access to leadership and problem-solving training, which will be key to strengthening my resolve whenever obstacles arise in the pursuit of my goals
It will also provide access to a vast network of brilliant, like-minded youths, from whom I can draw inspiration and learn. This will allow us to form alliances and amplify our voices.
The Millennium Fellowship will provide the required mentorship, foresight, network, and platform to champion societal causes.
I can't wait to begin. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Youth Health
Youth Health is a Health Awareness and Advocacy project targeted towards the youth demographic. The project aims to educate young people on their mental health, and their reproductive and sexual health.
For a wider reach, I plan on partnering with other youth-centered NGOs like BetterHer Africa and Action Group on Adolescent Health (AGAH) to embark on outreaches into schools, the market, and other high-density regions.
Within August-December 2025, I plan to sensitize 200 youths on their mental and Reproductive/Sexual Health.
I also plan to conduct review sessions with open-ended questions so as to get feedback from the people reached out to.
Importantly, I plan to assess how well they understood the sensitization sessions through active recall.
