Engineers Without Borders USA – ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Chapter is in partnership with the community of  Teodomiro, Ecuador, to assist with improvements at the primary school.

Teodomiro, Ecuador

EWB USA – ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Chapter began a partnership with the community of Teodomiro, Ecuador, and New Horizons (a local NGO) in March 2021. Through this partnership, the EWB USA – ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Chapter traveled to Teodomiro to install a schoolyard enclosure that provides a safe and secure work area.

The ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Chapter worked with local contractors to install a schoolyard enclosure that was designed by the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº students and their supporting mentors. The chapter oversaw the construction of the wall and helped with tying rebar, digging foundations and siting the project.

In addition to the installation, the chapter collected data on water sources in the area and held discussions with the community to aid in prioritizing needs for the next project at the school. Through an alliance with an NGO, the EWB USA – ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Chapter is planning to revisit the community in the spring of 2023.
