" The Millennium Fellowship being a UN-recognized program would be a platform to ease the execution of some of my plans towards proper health education as it offers some form of credibility and recognition.
Places
and materials I couldn't access easily working on
my own would be much easier to access.
In addition to this, I can be able to connect with
other individuals passionate about making an
impact in the society and from here I can get the opportunity to learn from
more experienced people,maintain a drive
towards my project and still be properly
accountable.
I could also gain more insights and ideas on working to make a more sustainable impact. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Generation Zero
Generation zero is a project that aims at reducing the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Akwa Ibom over the next coming generations through a public awareness system that targets secondary school students. This helps bridge child-parent communication gap as some parents in our community find it uncomfortable discussing sex-related subjects with their children. Generation zero helps educate these children early before they become sexually active so that they can form the right attitude, behavior and mindset toward safe sex practice that will be sustained for long, having lasting impact on the next generation. Also, these students can help spread the awareness beyond the walls of their schools through peer influence. The project will span over a period of four months, when we will be visiting two secondary schools to sensitize the student and help them create a HIV/AIDS awareness club that will ensure the continuity of this awareness beyond the four months.
