At Africa Renewal University, we believe that research should move beyond papers—it should solve problems, impact lives, and glorify God. Our innovation culture empowers students and faculty to turn bold ideas into real-world solutions that address Africa’s most pressing needs.
A team of AfRU students recently designed and built a Smart Dustbin (E-Bin)—an automated waste bin that uses sensors to detect when it’s full and alerts campus waste teams via SMS. The project is part of our drive to integrate technology with sustainability, and it’s just one example of how students are applying what they learn to improve their communities.
