Millennium Fellowship Project: Future Leaders Mentorship Program
The Future Leaders Project at Good Samaritan Children’s Home focuses on empowering children through mentorship, skills-building, and supportive developmental activities that promote confidence, resilience, and long-term personal growth.
During the Millennium Fellowship, our project supported the children at Good Samaritan Children’s Home through mentorship and interactive sessions aimed at building confidence, communication, and leadership skills. We successfully engaged the children and created a safe space for learning and self-expression, meeting our immediate goal of establishing rapport and starting leadership development.
