About Us

EWB-Sudan

We are a non-profit organisation whose income lies solely on private donations.

EWB-Sudan shares the mission to partner with disadvantaged communities to improve their quality of life through education and implementation of sustainable engineering projects, while promoting new experience for engineers, students, and similarly motivated non-engineers.

Clean water development

Wastewater management is a key component to health risk management.

Bringing clean water sources to the surface through the building of wells and the use of water pumps is an important component of waste water management.

Providing rural and often famine stricken communities with the access to clean water reduces poverty, associated health risks and displacement

Displacement Relief

Sudan has the largest population of refugees and displaced people in the African continent.

Displacement has a momentous effect on the societal make up of the region and its relief efforts. Often settling in makeshift camps in territories that are not fit for human habitat intensifies the humanitarian dilemma.

Providing access to clean water, sufficient electrification for cleaning, lighting and hygiene will relief some of the tensions from hostilities and conflict

Energy

^{_{Solar energy provides power to pump wells in regions that do not have electricity. The water can be used for cleaning, irrigation and storage.}}

Sudan has one of the strongest heat and sunlight intensity per m2 in the world.

With water at depths of 200 -400m underground, solar is the best form of energy to motor pumps and have been used to light new schools and medical facilities

3.7 million people internally displaced and over 800,000 refugees seeking safety and protection across borders.

UNHCR

In Sudan 17.3 million people lack access to basic level drinking water supply and are at risk of disease. About 24 million lack access to proper sanitation facilities.
