This donation initiative was organized under the project “Raising Awareness: Entering the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings,” driven by STOU’s Department of International Affairs. The project’s objectives are to promote waste sorting, efficient resource utilization, and environmental impact reduction. This is achieved by collecting unused items from executives, staff, students, alumni, and the general public, and repurposing them for maximum benefit.
Beyond fostering awareness of waste sorting, a culture of donation, and efficient resource use, this activity also supports social causes, such as assisting vulnerable members of society.
Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University extends its gratitude and appreciation to all staff, students, alumni, and the general public nationwide who contributed to this donation drive, becoming another force in driving sustainable social development.
