" I am excited to ba a Millennium Fellow because it gives me the opportunity to connect with like-minded change makers and turn my passion for women's rights, education, and global equity into concrete action. I do this work because i believe one person or one generation truly has the power to change the world. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: SustainHer Sip n' Thrift
SustainHer is a project created by Millennium Fellows who care about bringing
sustainability and women’s advocacy together. We’re teaming up across universities in Vienna to host thrift and donation events where students can exchange, buy, or donate clothes — while also creating space for open, honest conversations about women’s experiences on campus. Through these events, we hope to cut down on waste, support local women’s shelters, and build stronger, more supportive communities for women.
