Millennium Fellowship Project: MB FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS
is a student-focused financial support initiative designed to help university students access resources needed for their academic success, including printing, transportation, food, and emergency expenses. The project targets students across universities in Zambia, as well as individuals facing financial challenges more broadly. During the Millennium Fellowship, the project focused on laying a strong foundation by conducting needs assessments, raising awareness, and refining the project model. The fellowship helped clarify the project’s goals, validate the need for such support, and prepare MB Financial Solutions for effective implementation in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
