EWB-USA Projects help developing areas worldwide with their engineering needs, while involving and training a new kind of internationally responsible engineering student. The projects involve the design and construction of water, wastewater, sanitation, energy, health care and shelter systems. These projects are initiated by and completed with contributions from the host community. During this process, the host community is trained to operate the systems without external assistance. In this way, EWB-USA ensures that its projects are appropriate and self-sustaining. |
| Current EWB-LVP Projects | Ghana Project |
| This project will include the construction of an orphanage building, a self composting latrine, a washroom, and a well. The project will immediately improve the standard of living for the children of the current orphanage. Moving the orphanage to land owned by the headmaster will free funds that will allow for better living conditions of the orphans housed both at the orphanage and foster homes. The project will also result in the potential for future site development (educational center). |
| Nicaragua Project: |
| This project will bring clean drinking water to the town of El Robledón, Nicaragua. Water will be piped in from a nearby spring approximately 12 km from El Robledón. The water will be filtered and chlorinated before it is piped to a manual pump. The first phase team is set to go to the site in April 2011. |
