Rwanda, Tanzania, USA
Gikingo, Rwanda
This project focuses on improving access to clean water in Gikingo, Rwanda. As the newest EWB-UC project, this committee began working in 2023 and is currently preparing for the implementation of a spring box and tap stands in December 2025. This committee offers members an opportunity to participate in an earlier phase of a project.
Burere, Tanzania
EWB-UC began its partnership with the Burere community by constructing a new school building. Over time, the project expanded to include structural repairs, facility upgrades, and a clean water system. By 2020, plans for further development were underway, and in May 2023, progress was assessed. Our current plans include a Spring 2026 trip focused on monitoring the water system’s performance. We are also evaluating the Burere Water Committee’s funding model to identify areas for improvement. These efforts aim to support long-term sustainability and community ownership of the system. EWB-UC remains committed to empowering Burere through engineering-driven collaboration.
Nyambogo, Tanzania
Since 2009, EWB-UC has focused on the Nyambogo water project, addressing the pressing need for clean water access. Significant progress includes drilling a borehole, installing tanks, tap stands, and waterlines. The 2017 sanitation initiative added hand-washing stations and latrines. Currently, the committee is working on phase two of the water project. Current tanks are being modified, and work is being done on a sun inverter.
Community Outreach
Community Outreach is a dedicated committee focused on local and domestic volunteering, enhancing nearby communities through service and compassion. We believe in actively engaging and supporting our local communities for lasting change and a brighter future. Our impactful events include building homes with Habitat for Humanity, park cleanups, supporting the Queen Bee Half Marathon, spreading engineering awareness, and providing Christmas gifts for veterans' children.
