Missouri S&T’s EWB chapter is one of 14 student design teams based in the Kummer Student Design Center. Missouri S&T’s EWB chapter works on projects in Los Eucaliptos, Bolivia; Nahualate, Guatemala; Santiago, Honduras; and Tacachia, Bolivia. Each project involves providing clean water to thousands of people.
