Testimonials

Subasree Veluswamy - Bachelor of Dentistry, University of Western Australia, Digital Fellowship 2022

This fellowship has been an eye-opening experience for me overall. Coming from an Indian background, I’ve always been aware of the global challenges plaguing developing communities. However, this was the first time that I’ve had the opportunity to interact with like-minded people in proposing solutions for the complex problems of poverty, lack of women’s empowerment and access to clean energy. It made me realise that even the smallest actions can make a wider impact on the world. Talking to women from developing communities to better understand their circumstances is not an opportunity that you get often. It made me realise how each woman is so different and they have their own story. Being part of a woman’s success story is something that I’ll hold close to my heart and the experience has inspired me to constantly strive to be a better person and to give back to the community. Pollinate’s initiative to reach out and to provide opportunities to the world’s most neglected communities has given life to many women. Pollinate’s mission to empower women to become leaders and to distribute beneficial products resonates with the values of many of us who want to take steps towards changing the world.”

Will Lewis - Bachelor of Psychology, University of Western Australia, Digital Fellowship 2022

Highly recommend this fellowship to all curious students. Being able to work and communicate with the stakeholders of Pollinate was a privilege. Solving real world problems in small teams with mentors felt like I was actually working towards making a difference and now plan to visit one of the communities Pollinate works with.”
