" Millennium Fellowship Project: Blooming Girls Blooming Girls is an idea conceived from the desire and interest to help teenage girls live healthy, improve academically, prevent teenage pregnancy and other health conditions through proper sensitization and exposition on safe practices during teenage age. Teenage pregnancy is a significant issue in many parts of the world, with far-reaching social, economic, and health impacts. It disrupts the education and future aspirations of young girls and perpetuates cycles of poverty and inequality. Addressing this issue requires a holistic and multifaceted approach, which is why my team members and I are focusing on prevention through education, empowerment, and community involvement. The Blooming Girls project is designed with the understanding that preventing teenage pregnancy is not just about providing contraceptives but also about addressing the root causes like lack of education, access to health services, and social inequality.

" Millennium Fellowship Project: Project LYF LYF is a project that primarily focuses on environmental conservation, focusing on about 25-40 cent area, which can include land and water bodies. The project consists of 3 stages. In the first stage, the idea is to visit the place with some of our volunteers. Then collect plastics and other harmful wastes which might be present in the soil and water. Also, if any alien species are recognized that are harmful to the natural flora, then they will also be removed. We will also be testing the samples of soil/water to detect microplastics or other harmful chemicals which might be present, for awareness. The next stage is planting (trees and shrubs on land and mangroves on the lake bank) in the cleaned-up area as a measure to combat climate change. The main point is that we will plant these trees in a modern manner with a limited expense. We also have a solution for this small amount, to give our collected plastic for recycling, from which we get the required money for modern planting (about 10 rupees for 1kg of plastic waste). In the third stage, we are planning to take care of planted trees and take the required steps for their development.

" Millennium Fellowship Project: Sex Education for Adolescents Adolescents in many cultures in Nigeria do not have access to information on sexual matters due to the cultural belief and the taboo attached to it. To promote knowledge of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), the Sex Education to Adolescents (SEA) project was designed to educate and empower secondary school students with age-appropriate information. This project will support young people and give them empowerment by improving their analytical, communication and other life skills for health and well-being about sexuality, human rights, values, healthy and respectful relationships, cultural and social norms, gender equality, non-discrimination, sexual behaviour, violence and gender-based violence, consent, sexual abuse and harmful practices. The use of innovative methods to put the message across, such as comics, infographics have been found effective and will be used. Five (5) schools will be involved, with a hundred (100) participants in each secondary school. According to UNICEF 2017, 44% of young girls are married before their 18th birthday and 18% are married before the age of 15. Furthermore, Nigeria has the largest number of child brides in the world. Also, Nigeria has the highest absolute number of cases of Female Genital Mutilation in the world with 65% prevalence in the southwestern part of the country. Hence, the project aims at reducing the rate of occurrence of early child marriage, teenage pregnancy and female genital mutilation in southwestern Nigeria by creating awareness, educating members of the community, empowering females in the community and involving the male folks in the campaign. It aims at reaching out to adolescents, both males and females, their parents and significant others, and educating them on the effects of early child marriage on the mother, child and society at large, importance of female education and empowerment, consequences of female genital mutilation, reproductive rights and advocating for the girl child. Involving males in the campaign is due to the essential roles they play in decision making and their impacts on the increasing menace.

We will arrange seminars on specific topics like female rights, hygiene, education , early marriage etc and bring guest speakers to talk with the audience. At the seminar, we will do a psychology quiz to test their current state of mind and later will provide free psychology sessions as per their state. After that we will arrange courses where they can learn different soft and hard skills for their improvement in career.
