This project recognizes that data centers, powering the vast array of digital services, are significant energy consumers and, consequently, substantial contributors to carbon emissions.

We aim at distributing illustration book containing illustrations and animated pictures showing major parasites that are infective and easily contracted from the environment and day-to-day interactions. This pocket book will be distributed among Kindergarteners and Primary school pupils in Enugu, Nigeria. We also aim to inculcate the importance of personal hygiene and proper hand washing and sanitation to these kids The main aim of this project is to communicate in the most understandable way to children harmful and infective parasites that could harm their health, as well as basic ways they can maintain their personal hygiene to avoid getting sick or infected. This project is specifically focused on Kindergarteners and Primary School Pupils because Safety and Hygiene is a very important topic in childcare. In situations where children have little supervision while they eat, splash in not-so-clean ponds, play in the rain, pet their animals, etc., they care less about safety and hygiene, which increases their risk of getting an infection. The "Protect The Host" graphic pocket book will teach them what causes such infections and how to avoid them. This project is focused on Health Education and communication.

Mental health is a growing concern for the GEN Z community. According to a recent study, 1 in 5 young people aged 13-18 have experienced a mental health disorder in the past year. This is a significant increase from previous generations, and it is likely due to the increasing pressures of modern life. The study found that the most common mental health disorders among GEN Zers are anxiety and depression. This is not surprising, given the stressful nature of life today. From the pressure to succeed in school to the pressure to be perfect on social media, there are a lot of things that can trigger anxiety and depression in young people. It's important to be aware of these risks, and to take steps to protect mental health.

" Millennium Fellowship Project: She Leads In Chittagong, where we currently live, we’ve observed that the majority of females begin school but do not finish it due to early marriage. Girls are being raised by families with the expectation that they would become housewives when they grow up. Such ideas discourage many talented females from pursuing careers. Reports have shown that many married women in Bangladesh are abused physically, mentally, sexually or economically at some point in their lives by their husbands. In such cases most girls do not leave their husbands because they are not financially self-sufficient. If a girl is educated enough, she will be able to protest against such violence and come out of this situation. That’s why we propose conducting sessions with local girls between the ages of 10 and 18 along with their families. We will learn in these sessions how essential it is for a girl to have an academic focus. During these sessions, we will help them realize that a girl’s life should have goals beyond being married. Our project will show them several viewpoints on how pursuing higher education might enhance one’s quality of life. We’ll additionally talk about freelancing as a career option for those girls who are looking for financial solvency. We will prioritize the development of their skills, including interpersonal and other relevant competencies. By earning from home, they can carry out their academic fees and they can avoid reliance on others.

I believe that sharing knowledge about health issues, either in person or virtually (due to COVID-19), can improve the ways our community addresses them. I also hope to organize more events / free clinics in which anyone can get a basic workup (vitals, medicine review, etc.) to be up to date and aware of their medical profile.
