The Young ChangeMakers Award had a catalyzing effect on my passion project. Not only did it provide financial support, but the professional mentorship also helped me better understand the complexity of impact-driven projects. I was able to deepen my knowledge in team management, pitching solutions, and improving product designs. In the end, our team finished the fellowship with full enthusiasm and confidence to continue developing the Little Universe family game.”
