Engineers Without Borders-USA RTP Professionals

Thank you to everyone who has donated to our project! Abelino, Rudy, and Nestor are doing amazing work surveying the lower tank site. Meanwhile Bruce and Sucy are coordinating the first deliveries of construction materials. If you want to be a part of this project please consider donating to directly buy materials for construction starting in February!

We are on track to begin construction of the Chiquiguital Water System in February! So far we've raised $64,000 from corporate and individual donors along with contributions from the community and local government. We're still hoping to raise about $7,000 more to finish phase 1 of our project which will supply clean water to several distribution points throughout the community. Please consider contributing and reading more about our project on our website: ewb-rtp.org!

Power Through Partnership! The motto of EWB's conference was highlighted during our assessment trip to Chiquiguital last week. Our team had an incredible time working with the community of Chiquiguital, leaders of the municipality of Santa Cruz, CeCEP, and Chiquiguital's COCODE to gather data for a new community water system. We are looking forward to strengthening these relationships throughout the project and beyond.

The 2025 EWB National Conference came to Charlotte! We had a great time meeting with and learning from our EWB friends from across the country here in our backyard. The RTP Professional Chapter met with the NCSU student chapter, representatives from CeCEP, and many others. We also had the opportunity to host a volunteer event with Charlotte Wildlife Stewards and Charlotte-Mecklenburg County Stormwater Services.
