Congratulations to Oyoo Owere & Naomi Chepkemoi on joining the prestigious Erasmus+ KA107 Student Exchange Program at Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany, during the Winter Semester of the 2025/2026 academic year.

Their research on sustainable waste management in the global south reflects urgent global priorities in environmental conservation, circular economies, and community-driven solutions. This exchange strengthens their knowledge, skills, and research capacity while engaging with leading scholars and peers from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds.

The Erasmus+ program empowers students to achieve academic excellence, intercultural understanding, critical soft skills, adaptability, communication, and teamwork. This experience enhances personal and professional growth and enriches Rongo University’s contribution to sustainable development and global collaboration.

We commend Oyoo and Naomi for this milestone and look forward to innovative ideas, impactful research, and international partnerships emerging from this exchange. Together, we continue to advance global citizenship, sustainable solutions, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
