" Millennium Fellowship Project: Sparking Lives Varshini is working on a collaborative project to create a report on educational inequity and lack of digital access by studying two rural Indian villages. Varshini has been passionate about empowering young girls and giving them a voice through her nonprofit organization known as Sparking Lives. Through this project, she hopes to understand how lack of digital access prevents children in rural areas from attending school and denies them access to educational opportunities. This lack of resources combined with gender inequities has created a situation where many families that have a limited amount of resources often choose to send sons to school over daughters. This project focuses on SDGs 4, 5, and 10- quality education, gender equality, and reduced inequalities. She, along with her team will be conducting interviews of nonprofits, students and teachers in the village, as well as nearby homes providing support to orphaned children. For the final report, she hopes to compile these interviews with the goal of identifying the main barriers to increasing digital and educational access. Her aim with the report is to address the current inequity, systems which perpetuate and exacerbate such inequities, and propose recommendations and ways towards which individuals and NGOs can take first steps to reducing this inequity."

We emphasized the importance of children's education, community health care, and activities like farming and crafting for financial empowerment. To kickstart this, we gave them vegetable seeds and hens Our goal was to break the barriers these women face, promoting gender equality and supporting SDGs Goal-5. We believe our project can positively change their lives, providing not just financial stability but also self-reliance. We aim to break the cycle of poverty and inequality. Through this project, we not only uplifted rural women but also developed our own leadership skills, learned to respect opinions, communicated effectively, showed respect, and worked well in a group.

The projected outcomes of our project by December of 2018 include operating a small scale aquaponics system to serve as a model for our long term goal of a full scale aquaponics facility. This small scale model will allow for experiments to be run on how to most efficiently run the system, as well as better plan for the operating cost and factors of a full scale system. This also provides an opportunity to bring campus and community together through outreach events. Building this relationship is one of the most important focuses for the project moving forward. Another focus will be on fundraising efforts for the purchase of the K-Mart facility and equipment. The long term goal is to create a full scale indoor farming facility and food network for mid-Michigan. This network will provide nutritional local food for large hubs like schools and hospitals as well as for household consumption. The team aims to raise community health and ensure access to nutritional food no matter a person’s income level.
