In collaboration with our local partner, we've successfully realized the construction of a new water tower for a private secondary school for girls. Designed by Engineers Without Borders - Netherlands, this project provides the school with two 10,000-liter water tanks, ensuring a reliable supply of water for sanitation and cooking. This crucial resource will significantly improve the learning environment and empower these young women to reach their full potential. We're incredibly proud to have played a role in bringing this project to life and are grateful to all the dedicated volunteers and local stakeholders who contributed to its success. 🙏 #EducationForAll #WaterForLife #EngineersWithoutBorders #Malawi #EmpoweringGirls #CommunityDevelopment

This project, in collaboration with our local partner KCDO (Kyamaganda Community Development Organization KCDO UGANDA), aims to create a vibrant space for recreation and community engagement. Currently, the site is being meticulously levelled and graded according to design specifications provided by Engineers Without Borders - Netherlands. This important step sets the stage for the construction of a multi-purpose sports ground that will serve the local community, including children supported by KCDO. KCDO is a dedicated local organization that works tirelessly to improve the lives of children living with AIDS. This project is a testament to our shared commitment to empowering communities and fostering well-being through sport and recreation. We're looking forward to sharing more updates as the project progresses! #StayTuned #CommunityDevelopment #SportsForDevelopment #Uganda #EngineersWithoutBorders #KCDO #Lwengo #GivingBack #MakingADifference

Our third #womenengineer of #INWED24 is Bertie R. who is on a mission to reduce plastic waste. We are ever grateful and thankful for all the work, the women engineers of Engineers Without Borders - Netherlands are putting in every day.

Very proud of all the work our #womenengineers do. Here is Tayyaba Noor making an impact everyday with her expertise and effort #INWED24

Our engineer Patricia De Oliveira got featured in #INWED24, an international campaign recognizing the great work that women engineers are doing today. Stay tuned for more representation from Engineers Without Borders - Netherlands

Taking a moment to recognize the immense contribution #WomenInSTEM have had and are continuing to make in engineering today!

📣 #CallingForVolunteers 🌍 Join us in making a difference! EWBNL is embarking on an incredible mission to support #education and #hygiene in Malawi and Africa as a whole. 📚✨ We are thrilled to announce our plan to send a 44 ft shipping container to Tanzania, which will then be transported to the Nachali School in Malawi and finally to the Mahetshe School in Zimbabwe. 🚢 This container will serve as a lifeline, filled with essential school supplies, and other necessities, empowering these schools and helping their projects take flight. 🎒✏️🩸 But that's not all! In addition to the container project, we are also passionate about organizing #hygieneworkshops for students and teachers at the Nachali School, focusing on menstrual hygiene and disease prevention. We will even teach them how to sew cloth pads themselves! 🩸💪 This initiative is inspired by the incredible work of EWB Germany, who have already set up a similar project in the region. Learn more about their efforts at https://lnkd.in/ezeunK-s. 🤝 To make these endeavors a success, we are #callingforvolunteers! We need a passionate project leader and 2-3 dedicated volunteers to organize the container, secure donations of school supplies, and oversee the filling, shipping, and preparation processes. We have already initiated contact with the Maersk Foundation, a generous organization that has shown interest in supporting our #containershipping cause. They have offered to donate a container and provide port-to-port shipping services. Learn more about their incredible work at https://lnkd.in/eTpSnadF. 🤝 For the hygiene workshops, we encourage applications from all individuals, but we especially welcome #femalevolunteers. Your role will involve contacting our local partner in Malawi, preparing for the workshops, and delivering them alongside EWB Germany. Furthermore, we believe in the power of collaboration. A spin-off initiative could involve connecting with female entrepreneurs in the region who are interested in setting up a cloth pad production facility. This will provide low-cost menstrual pads to the Nachali School and other primary/secondary schools in the area. 💼🌍 If you are ready to make a lasting impact and be part of this transformative journey, please reach out to us! Together, we can create a brighter future for education, hygiene, and empowerment in Malawi and beyond. 💫 #EngineersWithoutBorders #EducationMatters #HygieneInitiative #LogisticsForACause #MakingADifference #Malawi #Zimbabwe #Africa

Engineers Without Borders - Netherlands has won a grant of EUR 5,000 from Stamicarbon (MAIRE Group) to supply a new plastic recycling shredder for the Jos Green Centre project in Nigeria. With the efforts of Vinayak Krishnan, EWBNL team and Stamicarbon's vision for a more sustainable future, we will help a local community-driven startup to leverage new, more capable equipment. This will help kickstart their plastic recycling efforts in the region. The project is a positive step towards building a circular world as well as realizing our goal of supporting communities in under-resourced regions. We sincerely thank Stamicarbon for their support and hope this is just the start of a long-lasting collaboration with them. #Stamicarbon #EWBNL #grants #EngineersWithoutBordersNL #PlasticRecycling #CircularWorld #SustainableDevelopment #SocialImpactEngineering #PositiveChange #JosGreenCenter #Nigeria

#ExcitingUpdate We had a fantastic Meet and Greet on June 7th at Virgiel in Delft - our second one this year!
