Learn More About Our Projects

The members of each of our five projects have been working hard to compile photos, video, and documentation of their incredible experiences over the years. A prime example of this is the short documentary film "Muramba Together" that detailed our organization's implementation of a water catchment tank in Muramba, Rwanda. This film received quite a bit of recognition and was showcased at the Engineers Without Borders International Conference in 2009.

All of our projects have interesting videos, maps, or pictures to look through so we encourage you to learn more about each project by browsing this website!
