This would provide me with the opening to create an impact leading to sustainable development. " Millennium Fellowship Project: Asthma Awareness and Management Initiative (AAMI) Asthma Awareness and Management initiative (AAMi) is a project targeted at gradually reaching a good percentage of the entire populace consisting of asthmatics and nonasthmatics. It aims at educating the public on the causes, prevention of asthma triggers, and proper management involved in asthma care thus enhancing and improving the quality of life of asthma patients. Asthma is a major Non-communicable disease(NCD) that has been identified also as a global burden being the most common chronic disease among children. According to the World Health Organization(WHO), asthma affected an estimated 262 000 000 people in 2019 and caused 461 000 deaths. AAMi would help to reduce the global burden arising from the impact of Non-communicable diseases. This would be achieved through sustainable education on the proper way to curtail and erase asthma triggers, attacks, and deaths. The project would prioritize hosting awareness programs within the University of Nigeria which would educate about 1000 students of faculty of pharmaceutical sciences and faculty of social science on the importance of early asthma diagnosis and adequate management of the condition. It would buttress the importance of a healthy lifestyle as a key asthma management technique and also correct the various misconceptions that the students have about asthma. There would be a training session where participants would be trained on how to manage an asthmatic patient in the case of an asthmatic attack. The AAMi project members would collaborate with a specialist in asthma care and pioneer of the Asthma Awareness and Care Group(AACG), and other social health and public health groups on campus to achieve the aim of the project.

We keep educating our minds with the things we see & hear, ultimately reflecting the ideologies we have, through perceptions and emotions we have. Like the effect that surrounding such as air, water and sunlight has on seeds; similarly, the role played by parents, peers and society influences young minds. With time, these seeds grow, it has an influence of the different elements, it learns new things; it grows either as a brazen soul that's healthy because it understood the best values & lessons from all the different sources, is physically and mentally prepared for life or as lean and weak one that lacks knowledge and expression.

There is a government funded school in the village, however, due to lack of proper infrastructure students do not flock in large numbers. Considering these constraints, the team has come up with the following plan of action: 1. Fund-raising- The team will be working on doing month-long fundraising events online. The funds that will be collected will be spent on providing educational necessities to underprivileged school/students/individuals in the form of books and stationery donations and in the most efficient way. 2. Webinars- Through webinars on various topics, the project would enlighten them on important topics such as the importance of Sustainable Development Goals, Ethics, Environmental issues, and others. 3. Workshops: providing workshops on various subjects. The project wish to provide them a foreign language, spoken English development workshops, and activities. There will be workshops on various other topics as well. 4. Skill development- I have planned on creating various modules and homework sheets which can be done by oneself at home. These modules will be focusing on their skill development aspects. 5. Survey- There will be surveys conducted before any webinar, to know the audience and their take on the topic. This will help me in delivering a much more concrete webinar that is audience friendly and helps them in the understanding of the topic. 6. Awareness sessions: collaborate with other teammates and provide awareness sessions on topics such as menstruation and food wastage. 7. Social media- use social media most efficiently and promoting and showcasing the works done by all the members of the team targeting people so that they come forwards and lend a hand.

Being a part of the Millennium Fellowship will help enhance my advocacy and communication skills. Being able to articulate one’s thoughts and having the confidence to speak up one’s mind requires a great deal of exposure and I firmly believe that Millennium Fellowship will provide me with that exposure. I am very excited to learn and explore my potential with the platform I have got.” " Millennium Fellowship Project: Combating Domestic Violence The idea of our project is to combat domestic violence. The project involves awaring children aged 14-16 in different schools. Domestic violence refers to actions taken by one partner in a relationship, particularly to exert control over the other. The parties concerned could be wed or not, of the same sex or not, cohabitating or apart, or even just dating. Everybody is susceptible to domestic violence. Any age, sex, gender, religion, culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation, level of education, or marital status might be a victim, regardless of wealth. The majority of domestic abuse instances in Nepal involve women, in any of its many current manifestations. Due to cultural practices built on patriarchal ideologies, domestic violence can happen in a familial setting. However, this does not imply that the husband is not a victim of domestic abuse. He may also experience domestic abuse at the hands of his wife, her brother, or another male relative. Domestic Violence (Offence and Punishment) Act, 2066 (2009) has interpreted domestic violence as physical, psychological, sexual, or economic torture caused by one person to another person. However, many people hold the misconception that domestic violence involves only physical violence. People are unaware that economic torture, psychological and sexual violence is also a part of domestic violence. We aim to encourage children against domestic violence. The project falls under Sustainable Development Goal number 5 There were so many things to learn from the fellowship in our project. The major thing we learnt is that children's minds are tabula rasa and they pick up whatever the adults teach them. Therefore, our project broadly involves awaring young minds about how domestic violence grossly affects people and how one can give at least small efforts to solve it. Our project includes awaring the very foundation of our future, 14-16 year olds children, about domestic violence. Especially in Nepal where the highest number 14,232 cases of domestic violence have been reported on Nepalese fiscal year 077/078 with 2532 rape cases being the second on the list. Domestic violence in Nepal is flagrantly neglected whereby people just assume that it is a normal thing and having it reported is considered shameful to the family. It is paramount to eradicate domestic violence from the grassroot level and educating young minds from the very beginning is one way to curb the problem of domestic violence that is prevalent in Nepal.

Our farm does not farm automatic system of monitoring conditions of the land such as soil moisture, soil pH, light intensity, weeds, monitoring animal health so as to ensure such parameters are monitored and controlled automatically. There are no automatic irrigation systems that are driven using sensors without the involvement of human labor. Monitoring of animal health is done through manual observation of the animal behaviour to detect if it has contracted a disease or it is unwell. These challenges are hindering maximum utilization of the land to ensure high productivity.

Some examples include, the stairs leading towards a library, which represent Goal 4, about quality education. Goal number 5 about gender equality is shown by the graffiti ofa girl, where it promotes women's empowerment. Goal 7 is represented by the decorated bike, where it urges people to be more mindful of the means of transportation they utilize. Goal 11 is represented by the photo where many plants and branches connect buildings from the opposite side of the road. Life on land, goal 15, is represented by the butterfly on the window. Even the smallest thing on this Earth has the right to be there, and no one's life is more valuable than someone else's.
