EWB-OC

In the world’s toughest places, Engineers Without Borders is partnering with communities to meet their basic human needs. We’re building footbridges to provide pathways to opportunities. We’re installing solar panels to bring light where it is dark. We’re digging for water so hope can spring from the ground. Each project builds the foundation for a community to thrive for years to come.

The Orange County Professionals chapter is made up of members from all walks of life, who come together to volunteer their time and talents to help make the world a better place, one water tank at a time.  Our vision of a world where every community has the capacity to sustainably meet their basic human needs.

EWB OC has adopted a project in Ziguinchor, Senegal, which is home to several hundred villagers that suffer from water scarcity and poor water quality.

This issue has existed for decades and they are currently using wells that they access by foot. The project will address their water supply issue and any other basic needs.

La Mocora is in need of a water supply system to provide potable water for approximately 140 families. While the community currently has an existing storage tank & distribution lines, a new water source/treatment system are required.

Solutions such as chlorination and sedimentation units are being considered to minimize costs and optimize effectiveness.
