" Driving positive social change and creating innovative solutions to the problems youth are facing are the main catalysts that encourage me to be a Millennium Fellow. Collaborating with like-minded individuals who are committed to making a positive impact within the educational sector will make a great difference within schools and students, which also aligns with what the SDGs mainly call for. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Rising from the Ashes
In response to the war that occurred in Lebanon and displaced many individuals, our initiative provided immediate humanitarian aid and psychological support. Through collaboration between Millennium Fellows in Beirut and Byblos campuses, we gathered and distributed essential supplies, including food, clothing, and hygiene items. Additionally, we conducted psychological awareness sessions in schools and shelters to help individuals, especially children, cope with trauma and stress. Our efforts not only addressed urgent needs but also fostered resilience and emotional well-being within the displaced community.
