Nelima was selected among the five applicants from The Technical University of Kenya (TU-K).
The selected Fellows will participate in a transformative four-month leadership journey.
“I express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Okech Kendo from the Journalism and Media Studies section, who champions and regularly shares opportunities for growth of students,” says Nelima, a fourth year student taking a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism and Media Studies.
The Millennium Fellowship Committee was particularly impressed by Nelima’s application, alongside those from other students from TU-K. “This recognition is not just a personal achievement; it's a testament to the vision, leadership, and hard work we are cultivating on our campus. It highlights the immense potential within our student body,” says Nelima.
“Witnessing firsthand the impact of foundational education and community engagement ignited a desire to contribute meaningfully to positive change at the grassroots, and to empower others through knowledge and opportunity. This commitment drives the work I do, and I am eager to bring that dedication to the global stage.”
Millennium Fellowship offers young people a unique platform to contribute meaningfully to their communities, and globally. It is a chance to learn, grow, and collectively work towards positive change, pushing boundaries and finding innovative solutions to global challenges.
