University of Bamenda | Bamenda, Cameroon | Advancing SDG 3 & UNAI 2 Millennium Fellowship Project: THE MEDICINE SHOULD BE PRESCRIBED (T.M.S.P) The Medicine Should Be Prescribed (T.M.S.P) is a compelling and impactful millennium fellowship project spearheaded by Pechiambaih Wardious, a dedicated member of the Fanji Medical Minds association. Recognizing the alarming prevalence of automedication and its detrimental consequences among the population of his village Bafanji, Pechiambaih embarked on a mission to educate and empower the community on the importance of proper medication practices. With a vision to bring about positive change and improve the healthcare outcomes of Bafanji village, Pechiambaih's project aimed at raising awareness about the risks and potential dangers associated with automedication. By addressing this critical issue head-on, he sought to equip the community with the necessary knowledge and tools to make informed decisions regarding their health. Pechiambaih's journey as a Millennium Fellow began in August 2023, when he was admitted into this prestigious program. Fueled by his passion for healthcare and a deep sense of responsibility towards the well-being of community Bafanji, he immediately set to work on developing and implementing his project. Integrating his initiative with the 2023 health fair organized by the Fanji Medical Minds association in Bafanji, Pechiambaih leveraged this platform to maximize the reach and impact of his project. Over the course of five days, alongside other dedicated members of the association, he conducted comprehensive health education sessions specifically focused on automedication and its consequences. Through these interactive sessions, Pechiambaih and his team engaged directly with the community, providing them with valuable insights into the potential risks associated with self-medication practices. They emphasized the importance of seeking professional medical advice, proper diagnoses, and prescriptions from qualified healthcare practitioners. Additionally, they highlighted the potential dangers of incorrect dosages, adverse drug interactions, and the potential for delayed or improper treatment. Pechiambaih's project went beyond simply highlighting the risks of automedication. He also aimed to empower the community by sharing information on alternative healthcare resources available to them, such as local clinics, pharmacies, and trained healthcare professionals. By fostering a sense of trust and encouraging open communication, Pechiambaih and his team hoped to create a supportive environment where community members felt comfortable seeking professional medical advice and adhering to prescribed treatments. The Medicine Should Be Prescribed project leaves a lasting impact on the Bafanji village community. By actively engaging and educating the population on the potential dangers of automedication, Pechiambaih and his team empowered individuals to make informed decisions about their health. Through their efforts, they fostered a culture of responsible healthcare practices, ultimately improving the overall well-being and health outcomes of the community.

" Millennium Fellowship Project: Quality Education for All "Quality Education for All" is a transformation program instituted to provide opportunity and opportunities to disadvantaged children attending community schools to meet high standards in schools. These children are highly disadvantaged in schools because such schools lack proper resources and systems to support them or other infrastructural facilities that would facilitate learning. The program will fill those gaps through the provision of customized resources in the form of educational material, personalized tutoring, and after-school programs that focus more on excellence both in academic and life skills. It will also be based on the premise that quality education goes way beyond books, ensuring wholesome growth through the development of critical thinking, creativity, and emotional consciousness. It will create a support system involving families, peer mentors, and fellow classmates in helping each student gain and develop a balanced education as well through its partnership with a local school and its teachers and community leaders. In addition to that, this work is an opportunity to gain self-confidence and learn aspects of leadership among children so that they can have a chance otherwise unattainable for themselves. The goal is not merely the change in academic results but arming our children with skills and an outlook that may well allow them to maneuver their environment better and get free from this bondage of poverty. This project will make real the future in which the child of a better household receives a quality education hallmark that leads the way to success and sustainability in his or her name. As this initiative focuses on sustainable systems as the catalyst for quality education everywhere else under-resourced communities, it wants to reach the pinnacle with the notion that no child has to be left behind.

These children, taken under the Dhaka Ahsania mission, are disadvantaged and do not have family to return to. Moreover, they may not have proper equipment to maintain oral hygiene, placing them in a compromised state and increasing their chances of developing oral diseases. This project will give them an opportunity to have access to education, a support system, and medical care. It will allow them to gain mentors and adult figures that will provide them with the nurturing and care they deserve. The accommodations will account for their education, meals, clothes, healthcare related items, and other necessities the children may need. The cost to accommodate each child will be approximately $65 USD. We are aiming to cover the costs for a minimum of 50 kids for the duration of a month. To do this, we will raise $3,250 USD for the Dhaka Ahsania Mission. We will also educate the children on proper oral health through video presentations and raise funds to provide 50 dental hygiene kits for 50 kids. We hope to surpass our goal and support as many children as possible.
