Our Crowdfunding Groups
In 2015, the World Health Organization stated that 1 in 10 people lack access to safe water. At Engineers without Borders at the University of South Carolina, we believe that such statistics can be improved through sustainable partnerships with local communities to accelerate social development. Hence, we have set out to provide safe drinking water to residents of the El Cedro Community in Ecuador. Deterioration of the existing water distribution facility in the community has deprived its 500 denizens from access to clean water, vital to their personal and economic welfare. Every donation will facilitate the renovation of the municipal water supply system, bringing safe water to the El Cedro community.
For over a decade, Engineers without Borders USA (EWB) has brought sustainable change to less-privileged communities around the world. In devotion to this cause, Engineers without Borders at the University of South Carolina has invested its resources in engineering social change through community-driven partnerships in Ecuador over the last five years. Recently, we completed the construction of an irrigation system to provide year-round supply of water to farmers in La Victoria, Ecuador. Buoyed by this achievement, we have initiated a water supply project to provide El Cedro residents with safe drinking water so children and adults alike can live healthier and longer, achieving their dreams.
