" Millennium Fellowship Project: Big Box Farm Project The Big Box Farm Project is aimed at ensuring year-round access to sustainable and nutritious food by converting an abandoned former K-Mart building into an indoor aquaponic facility. The project is operating in an area of the Midwest where there is higher level of poverty and increase access to nutritional food will play a key role in increasing community health and wellness as well as to stimulate the local economy and better the environment by promoting shopping locally. Additionally, the project focus on the reutilization of existing infrastructure. The projected outcomes of our project by December of 2018 include operating a small scale aquaponics system to serve as a model for our long term goal of a full scale aquaponics facility. This small scale model will allow for experiments to be run on how to most efficiently run the system, as well as better plan for the operating cost and factors of a full scale system. This also provides an opportunity to bring campus and community together through outreach events. Building this relationship is one of the most important focuses for the project moving forward. Another focus will be on fundraising efforts for the purchase of the K-Mart facility and equipment. The long term goal is to create a full scale indoor farming facility and food network for mid-Michigan. This network will provide nutritional local food for large hubs like schools and hospitals as well as for household consumption. The team aims to raise community health and ensure access to nutritional food no matter a person’s income level.

" Millennium Fellowship Project: Ladies in Red The Strathmore Millennium Campus Cohort has started an initiative, Ladies in Red, in order to help further the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals #3 and #5, Good Health and Wellbeing and Gender Equality. This initiative is centred around the eradication of the stigma attached to menses, particularly within underprivileged areas of Nairobi. Recently, there have been multiple incidents of girls being unable to attend class due to shame and even two students committing suicide as a result of the embarrassment and stigmatisation. Thus, in response to the high number of young women who are suffering due to a lack of sanitary pads and understanding by the community the Strathmore Millennium fellows conceptualised the Ladies in Red Initiative. This initiative differs from past attempts to fight period poverty in that it entails the distribution of reusable sanitary pads, teaching young girls in society how to make reusable pads and providing a financial plan which will enable girls and women to purchase pads as opposed to constantly relying on charity.

The project Street School was the Proposed Project of Faizan Ahmad Nadeem, Campus Director of NUST Pakistan in millennium fellowship for class of 2019, who not only believed but acted upon the basic right of education to every child. A man who believed that education is the most powerful weapon to create a sustainable world. After the start of that fellowship 9 Other Millennium Fellows of Our cohort became its part and with the help of 50 other Volunteers of our campus, we are strongly working in a slum area of Islamabad, Pakistan, teaching around seventy Afghan refugee boys and girls of different age groups. However, the vision is far greater than the one achieved. Mr. Faizan plans to promote and expand his project to all over Pakistan, one slum community at a time, _until every child in the world is educated. The street school aims to not only teach these kids the basic school subjects like mathematics and English but first to instil in them the courage, self-confidence and proper etiquette to survive in a modern society. It aims to improve their lifestyle by teaching them about their rights and potential. The dedicated individuals who volunteer their time to these kids are the students from different fields of sciences, engineering and business from National University of Science and Technology. The team is divided into different portfolios, for better management and record keeping, including ● Human Resource ● Admin ● Security ● Finance ● External Relations ● Marketing ● Media and photography The classes take place regularly five days a week and a fun, co curricular activity like painting competition and plantation drive on weekends. Funds are collected by the team on regular basis to afford books, notebooks and stationary. The street school may be a small shelter made up of bricks and mud, but it holds utmost compassion and dedication. It was constructed with the cooperation of the locals who are very enthusiastic and grateful about this opportunity for their children. For the coming years, Street School plans to design proper curriculum and organizational system to make our Project Sustainable. To make our dreams a reality and our project Sustainable we did Collaboration with: 1. Chadar NUST Chapter 1. Each One Teach One Foundation Pakistan 2. Wall of Hope NUST Chapter 3. NUST International Model United Nations (NIMUN) Moreover, to make our project street school Sustainable in real terms We invited a psychologist from UMT (University of Management & Technology) Lahore, to visit street school and then have a session with the fellows working in Street School and volunteers at NUST. The psychologist conducted a behavioural assessment of the street school children, including various cognitive tests. And then, she interacted with street school team in a session for a discussion on different strategies that can be applied for enhancing the learning process in street school. Now we will try to convince others to Put some possible efforts to help us in this Project we have started to help our fellow humans and we have started now and did what we could do (to initiate it) but we can achieve what we have imagined if Everyone will do its part. So, From MCN and UNAI we are expecting a constant support for that project to extent THEY can do because both MCN and UNAI are working on Sustainable Development Goals and you can help us to make Project Street School Sustainable.
