Project Application EWB-USA Projects – Submitted!

Our project application has been submitted! The purpose of formally submitting projects to and gaining approval from EWB-USA is to ensure that the project scope agrees with EWB-USA’s mission. It requires that the project benefits the community and won’t exclude members of the community, there is community involvement and participation, and the scope of work is well defined.

Scope of Work
For this public health project in Miraflores, the proposal is to expand the existing clinic. This expansion will include additional rooms for lab testing, as well as space for patients to rest and wait if they are not feeling well. The expansion will also include an improvement of the existing ventilation on the building. In addition to the expansion of the clinic, the group will focus on establishing a working water system within the clinic. All construction efforts will be focused on using materials and skilled labor from the community.
