Engineers in Action
Engineers can change the world. We provide crucial connections between engineering groups and indiginous communities to build a better future.
Help us improve the quality of life for those in need.
Rio Colorado, Bolivia
The Boarding School at Rio Colorado is located in the Amazon Rainforest area of eastern Bolivia. It is approximately 100 miles from the electrical grid. The School houses 250 students, 6 days a week for 10 months a year. Working with the poorest indigenous peoples of the Rainforest area, 90% of its graduates go on to get a college degree.
Facilitated, first by our pilot project, and now by Engineers in Action, EWB-Missouri University of Science and Technology (EWB-MST) has drilled two water wells, build showers for the students, eco-latrines, small bridges for vehicles, and is providing a new generator. They have put over $50,000 in materials alone into the Rio Colorado Boarding School.
