PROJECTS

ACTIVE
KENYA AMARANTH
Food, Health, Education
We are working to optimize the efficiency of farming Amaranth in Western Kenya through the development of tools and processes. We are partnering with an NGO called ACESS (Africa Center for Engineering Social Solutions), founded by Clarice Odhiambo, former Africa Water Partnership Manager for Coca-Cola.

ACTIVE
BIOGAS STOVES
Health, Energy
Project Assida started in 2006 with the goal of replacing firewood stoves in Africa with biogas, in order to reduce gender based violence associated with wood gathering. Working in collaboration with EWB, we built a prototype digester in Massachusetts, then five students spent January in Tanzania implementing a nine stove pilot project with a partner NGO. The project is ongoing--we are currently evaluating the results from the pilot.

COMPLETED
PERU HEALTH CLINIC
Shelter, Health, Education
For our first international project we will design and construct a 6000 square foot health clinic in Belen town in the Upper Amazon Basin, located outside of Iquitos, Peru. It will serve about 75,000 people in the area by providing basic and emergency medical services and supplies, as well as health care education and training.
