We were honoured to welcome a delegation from Koitaleel Samoei University, led by Prof. Ruth Jepkemboi Choge, Dr. Solomon Mangira, and Dr. Joseph Mutai, for an insightful engagement on potential partnerships in climate action and community empowerment.
The discussion centred on an exciting and impactful initiative, ‘The Menstrual Cup, Revolving Fund Project’,which aims to promote sustainable menstrual hygiene solutions while contributing to climate resilience. This project is being advanced in collaboration with organisations such as Could You Cup and Hands of Grace, with the goal of building a strong research-driven foundation for long-term community benefit.Kenya Highlands University has been earmarked for this initiative.
The visiting team received a warm reception from key university leaders, including the DVC Administration and Finance, Prof. Robert Langat, the DVC Academic, Research and Student Affairs, the University Librarian, Ms. Jane Langat, and the University Chaplain, Rev. David Maritim.
Their presence underscored the institution’s commitment to fostering meaningful partnerships that advance research, innovation, and social impact.
As conversations progress, this collaboration promises to open new avenues for Kenya Highlands University for joint research, capacity building, and sustainable solutions that positively transform communities. The visit marks an encouraging step toward a shared vision of empowering women and advancing climate action through evidence-based initiatives.
