Clemson's chapter of EWB is a humanitarian organization that aims to build a better world through engineering projects that empower communities to meet their basic human needs.
Our university chapter meets on campus in Brackett Hall on Monday evenings from 7:00 to 8:00. If you're interested in what we're doing, stop by for a meeting!
Contribute to our fundraising efforts for the Spring Box and G.S. Musave School projects!
In December 2025, our club sent a team to finish up implementation for our Spring Box Project in Kagarama, Rwanda. The spring we designed is now successfully providing clean water to Kagarama and neighboring communities. We estimate that 3,000 people now rely on this water source every day.
Thanks to our strong partnership with IDA Rwanda - our NGO in country - we are taking on a second project in the greater Kigali area of Rwanda. While on our assessment trip for the Kagarama Water Project, we dropped off school supplies at a local school: G.S. Musave.
Representatives from the school knew we were working on a water project nearby, and asked for our help. Their school has access to government water one day a week, during which they fill a 5000L storage tank. The full tank lasts them about one day before it's empty, and the school has to use contaminated water from rain-water catchment systems for the rest of the week. Our goal is to build more storage tanks for G.S. Musave so that their 3,500 student population will have access to clean drinking water daily. We plan to couple the assessment trip for this project with the implementation trip for the Kagarama Water Project. Follow along to keep up to date!
