Millennium Fellowship Project: Beyond Limits

is a project aimed at secondary school students, helping shape their understanding of money, budgeting, and basic financial skills. The project leverages AI-powered animations to tell compelling stories that engage youth and shift mindsets around finance. During the Millennium Fellowship, funding was secured through a Lagos Model United Nations competition, and mentorship support was obtained. The project also focused on media skills such as scripting, video editing, storyboarding, and graphic design. While bank partnerships are still in progress, the pilot phase is fully funded and demonstrates the potential of combining technology, storytelling, and education to promote financial literacy among young people.
