Ecuador Program |
Ecuador: Malingua Pamba
Malingua Pamba is a mountain community in the Ecuadorean Andes at 10,000 feet in elevation. The village had a potable and irrigation system that was put in from other organizations sometime ago and the systems were either falling apart or incomplete. Our goal is to better the living conditions in Malingua Pamba through drinkable water, irrigation fro crops and erosion control. More information about the community can be found at www.escuelaminga.org
The Ecuador Maligua Pamba Program has two main project branches. The first project focused on designing and implementing a potable water system in the community, and the second focuses on improving the irrigation water supply and implementing erosion control measures.

Togo: Agou Avedze
Since the summer of 2006, the EWB-Denver Chapter has been working on the development of the rural community of 600 in the village of Agou Avedje (or Avedze), Togo. This work has been in conjunction with the community governance entities (community committees, village elders, etc.) and the in-country, non-governmental organization (NGO) partner, CADO (Center for the Assistance of the Deprived and Orphaned). The program is broken into three phases to be completed sometime between 2013 and 2018. The first phase was the planning phase, which was completed in Fall 2007 and partially documented in our proposed development plan. The second phase is all of the implementation work that the Chapter is helping to facilitate and the third phase is the monitoring and evaluation of the work that was been implemented; this last phase is on-going during phase two and will expire 5 years after all implementation is completed. The programs currently in the implementation phase are:
- Sanitation
- Well Rehabilitation
Madagascar Program |
Madagascar: Ambalona
Community Need
The village of Ambalona, Madagascar (est. pop. 1,500) gets all of its water directly from a river downstream of several other villages or springs that run through rice fields. The poor quality of the water has created many health issues including dysentery and diarrhea which have lead to dehydration and even death, especially in children. The women and children of Ambalona spend at least three hours each day collecting water in plastic buckets taking time from other responsibilities and, most importantly, school.
