ProjectCost:$250,000

Background:

Initially started as a joint EWB-USA Binghamton

University and Brown University Student Chapter

project, the Belén project proposed to design a clinic

in Belén, Peru, which would provide basic health care

services for the area’s 74,000 residents. EWB-NY

in collaboration with Amazon Promise have been leading

the project since 2007. Developments since the project’s adoption have

changed the scope. The Belén project is now tasked

with building an off-grid drinking water purification system and a composting

toilet system for the community.

EWB-NY, in collaboration with Amazon Promise, The

Peruvian Ministry of Health, and the local Peruvian

architects, developed a revised conceptual design of

the clinic. The project team split into several working

groups comprised of Structural, Geotechnical,

Water/Sanitation, Electrical, Mechanical, Construction,

Sustainability and Architecture, and

Fundraising/Marketing disciplines.

Belén Clinic ProjectBelén,Peru

Project Team EWB-NY, in collaboration with Amazon Promise, The Peruvian Ministry of Health, and the local Peruvian architects, developed a revised conceptual design of the clinic. The project team split into several working groups comprised of Structural, Geotechnical, Water/Sanitation, Electrical, Mechanical, Construction, Sustainability and Architecture, and Fundraising/Marketing disciplines. EWB-USA Binghamton University and Brown University chapters continued to provide valuable research assistance and support. The Need Located directly adjacent to Iquitos along the Amazon seasonal flood plain, Belén is a sprawling river community of some 74,000 people who lack the most basic amenities required for human health. Outdoor defecation, piles of rotting trash and drinking water contamination are rife. Most children are malnourished, living conditions are cramped; the prevalence of many diseases is extremely high. These conditions have only worsened over the years and have led the Peruvian government to begin a program to move people outside of the flood zone and discourage people from moving into the area.

Building a clinic in this location would only serve to encourage people to move into the area. As EWB-NY and Amazon Promise remain committed to building a

regional clinic for the communities of northeastern Peru, a new location, was selected in the town of Mazan. Mazan is located in the same Iquitos region and will serve largely the same community as the proposed clinic in Belen, but is outside of the flood plain area. This new site was suggested by the Peruvian Ministry of Health and supported by the local community and medical NGO (Project Amazonas), working in the region. Two new project partners, Project Amazonas and Siemens, will now be joining us in building this new clinic. Moving ForwardThe project team traveled to Belen in the winter of 2010 and successfully tested an off- grid drinking water purification system and a composting toilet system. The testing of the solar powered water treatment system showed that it has sufficient capacity to provide ample water for the clinic needs. The design of an off-the shelf composting toilet was analyzed with the participation of local craftsmen, and it was determined that similar in function units can be constructed from local materials. The next step will be to fully commission the systems in the course of 2012 for the continuous use by Amazon Promise personnel.

Potable Water System for the Matunda Health Center Matunda, Likuyani District, Kenya

Project Cost: Total: $116,000

Background:

Recently, the United Nations declared

clean drinking water a basic human right.

Access to potable water is vital to

eradicating hunger and providing

sustainable development.

Unfortunately, there are hundreds of

communities around the world that lack access to potable

water.

The Matunda Health Center is situated in the Matunda Market

area in the Lugari District of Kenya. The Matunda Market is an

active commercial area with many

small-scale traders and hawkers with a large population of

about 20,000 people. Overall, water supply

and sanitation are lacking in this

community. The Matunda Health

Centre is the only medical facility in the area. It was opened in 1999 in arented

house and currently includes a maternity

ward and an outpatient clinic.

THE NEED Currently, the Matunda Health Centre (MHC) is the sole fully accessible Health Facility servicing the town of Matunda. Their operation had been compromised by a lack of access to a clean water source. Prior to start of this project, the MHC relied on contaminated water sources; a hand dug well and the Nzoia River 2 km away. The main objective of this project has been to design and implement a potable water system that is efficient and sustainable.

PROJECT TEAM The EWB-NY project team consists of Engineers from disciplines such as Architecture, Structures, Civil, Geotechnical and Mechanical Engineering. Health, marketing and economics roles are utilized at various stages for metrics, education and fundraising. Members from the Matunda Health Centre Committee are also essential project members and will be involved in the planning, design and construction process.

THE EWB-USA RESPONSE Implementation Trips In January 2009, the EWB-NY Matunda Team implemented the first of two construction trips. During this visit, a 120 meter deep well was developed with the installation of an electric powered submersible pump, topographic surveys were performed, and further relationship building with the community. They completed additional health assessment surveys to gauge the impact of the project and its success. Additionally, the team continued to build their partnership with a local NGO, KAMADEP to develop capacity building training and workshops. In December of 2010, we traveled to the site once more to construct with local volunteers a system including: a plumbing network for the 3 main buildings of the MHC, asustainable drainage system, a steel tower to hold a 10 m3 water tank, and a series of workshops

which will train the MHC and key community members to maintain the

system. We continued to build our close relationship with the community through health assessment surveys and education hand washing programs for the local children. Project Goals Determine the most viable water system for the MHC Design and construct an efficient and sustainable water

system to meet the needs of the current and future patient load and the surrounding community

Provide a disinfection system as needed Develop a water usage and waste water management

system Provide awareness and instruction on system

maintenance Assess the health of the residents impacted by this

project

Status Report The Matunda Team successfully completed a monitoring and evaluation trip in November 2011. A technical inspection was completed of all water system related items which was necessary to complete an operations and maintenance manual for the water system to be used in the future by the MHC. A health assessment was completed to assess the impacts on the operations of the MHC due to the new availability of potable water. Additionally, an assessment was conducted on the state of management and training that may still be necessary.

MOVING FORWARD Our team found that overall conditions at the hospital have greatly improved due to the availability of potable water. Technically, the system is working well and the hospital management has noted the increase in quality of care and number of patients treated due to our work. EWB-USA reviewed our project in early 2012 and recommended we go ahead and formally close out this project and file it as another success. Our team continues to communicate with the MHC and collect health data for assessments.

Usalama Water Project Usalama, Kenya

Background:

Usalama is a small community in Kenya with a

population of 1500. The one six-

classroom building was run by its

passionate administration and faculty determined

to meet the education needs of

the children in the community.

Enrollment in 2005 was 176 and grew

276% to 486 in 2008. This

classroom building, along with

supporting kitchen and latrines, were

in a deteriorated stated and needed

much repairs.

THE NEEDDuring our two trips, there were obvious other needs in the village. One of the most pertinent was the deteriorated and overcrowded state of the village primary school. Between 1993 and 1997, one six-classroom building, one three-classroom building, an administrative building, kitchen, and several pit latrines were constructed by the parents with outside aid. Constructed with minimal funds the buildings quickly deteriorated. Despite the building quality, the passion and energy of the teachers and administrators, and the commitment of the parents, attracted more and more local children. In 2005, total enrollment at the school was 176 students (pre-primary + forms 1 – 8). Total enrollment in 2008 is 486 students, a 276% increase in three years! PROJECT TEAM The Usalama Project team is comprised of engineers from the various disciplines including environmental and civil. Due to the nature of the project the team also includes architectural professionals and industrial designers. These members all come together to collaborate on the various aspects and stages of the project to ensure its successful completion. Throughout the life of the project various other professionals and volunteers will contribute to other important aspects of the project including fundraising, planning and construction.

Completed: Part 1: Primary School Expansion

The school originally had two classroom buildings (6 & 3 classes, total 9), an administrative building, a kitchen building, a rain catchment tank off the six-classroom building, one teacher pit latrine, and three student pit latrines.

In February 2008, at the recommendation of the Usalama team, Mwikali’s Gift wired $5000 to Mr. Jackson, School Committee Chairman, to renovate the six and three classroom buildings. With the funds, concrete floors were added to the classrooms (previously were compacted dirt), steel doors were added to each class, operable glass windows were installed, rotted roof trusses were replaced, the exterior of both buildings was stucco’d and painted, and an additional gutter was added to the six classroom building to contribute to the catchment tank.

In June 2008, our team performed an assessment of the school site and conditions. We used planning exercises to engage the school officials, performed architectural surveys of each existing building, performed a topographical survey of the entire school property, held many formal & informal interviews, and visited three local primary schools for comparison. While in the village, we also assisted Mwikali’s Gift member Karen Brodsky as she assessed the state of the water project.

Yamabal Health & Sanitation Project Yamabal, El Salvador

THE NEED During the assessment trip in April 2011, about half of the homes surveyed had one or more latrines on their property that were being used correctly. Most pit latrines were constructed by the owners and were of variable construction quality and condition of repair. However due to poor transfer of skills to locals, improper seismic design, improper chamber cleaning, erosion of surrounding latrine foundation, these latrines have fallen into disrepair. The initial objectives of the project are to improve the sanitary physical structure and sustainable water system of the community. PROJECT TEAM The Yamabal Team is made up of various engineering professionals across the discipline. Health and safety and fundraising are also integrated into the team structure. Members from the Yamabal community are also contributing members to the project team and play a vital role in the design and implementation of the project. PROJECT GOALS The goal of the overall program is to partner with Yamabal to improve public health and livelihoods through sustainable water and sanitation solutions. In addition, other ambitions of the program include efforts to improve the only road that leads to the community, encourage the community to work together despite political differences, improve indoor air quality, and increase access to energy/electricity. This first project aims to provide the technical expertise, training, and financial support to build a first round of latrines in partnership with the community.

PROJECT DESIGN The predominant sanitary facilities in use in El Salvador include:

• Flush toilets discharging to sanitary sewer or septic pit. These are typically found in urban areas

• Ecological sanitation, including the Family Compost Latrine and the Solar Latrine, which began to be promoted by the Ministry of Health in 1992.

• Modified Pit Latrine

Our design is a modification of the Family Compost Latrine with various improvements to performance, ease of maintenance, safety, and user experience. STATUS REPORT During April and May of 2012 the team successfully completed an implementation trip where latrines were installed and further assessment for the water system was done. In addition to the sanitation implementation, activities were carried out to continue gathering health metrics and to continue assessment for the water project as time permitted.MOVING FORWARD The team plans to construct the remaining latrines with a new design and utilize lessons learned from the past trip by phasing the trips with different teams. Further, the team plans on installing a new water treatment system for the school, a water transmission line between the school and clinic, and the development of a spring source with a distribution system.

ProjectCost:$70,000USD

Background:

Yamabal is a mainly rural municipality in

Morazán, the poorest and most war-torn

department of El Salvador. The effects

of the 12-year civil war are still very evident,

even nearly two decades after the

peace accords were signed in 1992. In

addition, the community has been impacted by several natural disasters in

recent years, including a category 5

Hurricane Mitch in 1998, a 7.7 and a 6.6

magnitude earthquakes in

January and February 2001 respectively.

Education opportunities are limited, as most

communities currently only have direct

access to primary education, with a few

high schools scatteredthroughout the

municipality and very limited higher

educationopportunities. The

area has several hundred persons who

will be impacted by the project: 30 – 60

families will be directly impacted.

FundraisingCommitteeAs the Chapter continues to grow, the need for streamlining the funding and donor-management requirements in a central location, has also increased. Formerly set up in 2011, the Fundraising Committee was established to secure the funding and donor management requirements of the Chapter by a central, dedicated team. The Committee organizes fundraising activities to benefit the chapter and supports individual projects in their fundraising efforts. It also works in conjunction with the marketing committee to enhance chapter reporting and promote the great work of the chapter and many accomplishments of its members. The committee used the first few months of its inception to formalize its operating guidelines to ensure seamless integration with other committees and overall chapter objectives. This included appointing co-leads, lead officers handling grant management, procurement, database management, and outreach. StructureThe Fundraising Committee is made up of two co-leads, Chapter Treasurer, project treasurers, marketing lead, and other general volunteers.
