Being selected for the Millennium Fellowship program by the Millennium Campus Network, was a matter of great opportunity for Nafis as this allowed him to hone his leadership skills, gather more knowledge to create social impact, and increase his network on a global scale. The project he worked on for MCN was Agápe, and as mentioned above, his goal is to promote sustainable fashion and reduce the impact of textile waste on the carbon footprint within 2 years.
