UMD EWB Halloween 5k Fundraiser

We are so excited to host the first ever UMD Engineers Without Borders 5k Fundraiser!

We are planning to travel to Nyansakia and Kirengo, Kenya in December, 2024 to aid these villages in accessing clean water. We began working with the village of Nyansakia in 2018 and have since designed and implemented a pump fed water distribution system to provide over 2,000 residents in the community with close access to clean drinking water. In December we will provide the community with the necessary resources to sustain the system on their own, and close out our partnership with them. Located three hours from Nyansakia is the village of Kirengo, Kenya. We were awarded the water distribution system project in Kirengo last spring and will travel in December to begin preliminary assessment of the community to design their new water distribution system.

All donations from the 5k will go directly towards funding the travel of 10 volunteer students on the trip, along with other equipment costs for the projects.
