Project Goal: Engineers Without Borders aims to provide potable water to rural villages in developing countries. We work with student volunteers from Fort Lewis College in both Southeast Asia and Ecuador bringing sustainable technologies to those who have no resources or access to clean water.
Root Cause: Villagers may not have the neccesary resources or access to clean water, as well as lacking basic sanitation education. EWB aims to confront and solve these issues to better their lives.
Project Plan: We work closely with the design and construction of gravity fed water systems in order to bring potable water from distant sources and distribute through taps in a village. We also put on workshops in the village to help to improve sanitation education. |
