The youth who abuse drugs aren't aware of the dangers that hard drugs cause and as bad as the drug peddling business is, I want to have a soft take towards them, these are youth trying to make money, easy money to be precise because these youth lack opportunities and not to generalize but most of them drop out from schools. I want to target the youth with my project, to promote quality education for the youth, and to show them new pathways towards success and liberation towards their potential.

" Millennium Fellowship Project: All-Inclusive Safe Space for Youths in Kenya In Kenya, where there are 47.6 million people, 75% of the population is under 35, according to the results of the 2019 Population and Census. The work force in Kenya, which includes those aged 15 to 64, makes up 57% of the country's overall population, with young people making up 29% of that group. As a result, the majority of young people are jobless, ostracized, and subject to police harassment in addition to being denied access to essential services like healthcare and education. Therefore, this project aims to provide a platform for youth-to-youth sector-specific quality education sharing in order to be able to take advantage of opportunities to improve our overall well-being as youngsters. Our goal is to provide a peer-to-peer support network that helps young people, especially those with disabilities, to develop and pursue their ambitions.

" Millennium Fellowship Project: VINSIGHTE TECHNOLOGY Visual Impairment has been a limiting, depressing and overlooked problem in Africa with little help given in the region to help the victims enjoy a better quality of life. According to WHO’s 2010 global data report, 285 million people are visually impaired in the world and 26.2 million people suffer from visual impairment in Africa. Most of them are limited in their ability to read and move around their environment independently which has exposed them to even more hazards, limited their access to education and job opportunities, endangered their quality of life and wellbeing and brought on them undue stigmatization. Our aim at Vinsighte is to alleviate this problem. Vinsighte designed a hand-held guiding aid called Viri and a smart reading eye-glasses called Visis which aids the visually impaired to navigate a familiar environment independently and read books conveniently. Viri makes use of sonar technology to detect obstacles and obstructions in the path of the user and relays feedbacks via mild vibrations. Here is a short video of one of our pilot users using Viri-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LKhtqVTGYM Visis, makes use of a camera and AI to aid the visually impaired to read conveniently by converting the texts of books to audio for them to listen to. Rudimentary prototype https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T8U8sBl5r6vsyALvs67hoUrLlLOnn6Pb/view We have developed working prototypes which have been beta-tested and piloted with Visually impaired users in the University of Ibadan and at Omoyeni home of the visually impaired in Ibadan, Nigeria where we reached out to a total of about 70 visually impaired persons. Currently, we are working on improving our designs to ensure that our products are market fit. Due to the great prospect our innovation has shown and the success we have achieved in development, the World Bank Group recently announced Vinsighte as one of the top 14 social impact ventures among 3100 ventures in the world. We are currently in the 2019/2020 Facebook Accelerator program, Nigeria where we have access to business and financial mentors as well as technical support and resources from Facebook and Co-creation hub to further develop our technology and structure our business for scale.

Families are experiencing the devastating loss of loved ones due to hypertension, and previously healthy individuals are finding themselves paralyzed by strokes. Pregnant women are grappling with the critical issue of inadequate blood supply during childbirth. These distressing scenarios are unfolding right before us, and it is imperative that we take action.

This comprehensive project will encompass a blood donation drive, community blood pressure check-ups, and educational awareness campaigns focused on hypertension, stroke, and genotype compatibility. Our multifaceted approach, THE HEALTH MISSION, seeks to address these critical issues on multiple fronts. We aim to educate and sensitize community members, conduct medical outreaches within the community, and encourage regular checkups among people in the community in order to favor early diagnosis of stroke and high blood pressure. Through informative sessions and accessible materials, we will empower them with knowledge about their health, the importance of regular check-ups, and the early warning signs of health problems like stroke and hypertension.
