EWB at UC Irvine Projects
EWB at UCI is currently partnering with the Orange County Professional Chapter (EWB-OC ) in a community development project in Endana , Kenya .
Currently EWB-OC is designing a footbridge over a river which impedes travel to a local health clinic during the rainy season. The team members
recently traveled to Kenya on their assessment trip, successfully collecting engineering and public health data which has set the stage for
the implementation trip within the next year.
EWB at UCI is supporting the footbridge project and recently submitted a project proposal to the Endana Secondary School for a project of our own.
We are currently waiting for the school officials to approve the project. If approved, EWB at UCI and the Secondary School will submit the project to
EWB-USA for review. This is an exciting point in our chapter and opens the opportunity for students to being work on a community development project
that will send students abroad. Starting in winter quarter we will be looking for students to being work on the planning phase of the project to
prepare for our initial assessment in Kenya. Please look at the project outline for more details and contact us with any questions.
