EWB Chapter Going Full-bore in Kenya
The Engineers Without Borders (EWB) chapter at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has reached an historic landmark in its four-year-old Kenya Water Project. The EWB chapter is about to start drilling a $20,000 borehole for a new well that the organization has been raising money for since 2006. What’s more, a nine-person team from the UMass chapter recently returned from Kenya, after working on two water-bearing spring boxes and educating several hundred people about water sanitation. The deep-drilled well, about to be installed at the Machakha Polytechnic School in western Kenya, is the culmination of a hard-fought, four-year-long, fund-raising effort to raise the necessary $20,000.
