🌱 Give to NJIT Engineers Without Borders and Turn Engineering Into Impact 🌟

NJIT Engineers Without Borders is a student-run chapter dedicated to helping communities obtain essential needs through engineering solutions. Our current, and largest project yet, is the Maca Grande Ecuador Project.


The Maca Grande community, located in the mountains of Ecuador, faces difficulty acquiring a steady source of water. Residents travel miles every day to nearby springs to collect dirty water for use in their village. The two springs that currently supply the community of 40 families are not sufficient, as it has become necessary for members to decide who has access to water on specific days. Obtaining water is time-consuming, and the lack of water treatment poses a health threat.

Phases

The NJIT EWB chapter has completed two of its three phases designed to help distribute water to the community and is currently working on the completion of Phase III.


Phase I: In February 2021, the implementation of Spring Cap on the water springs in Maca Grande was completed, preventing contamination of the spring.

Phase II: The Storage Tank Design was implemented in Summer 2023, connecting the springs to a storage tank closer to the community.

Phase III: A Water Distribution system is being designed from our captured springs leading towards 15 residential houses in the Maca Grande community. The NJIT Ecuador Project team has been working on the implementation plans for this project since 2024, but has not been able to raise sufficient funds to complete it.
