Zambia Bridge Project
Connecting Sindowe and Simulunda
During the rainy season, the Kalomo River becomes impassable, cutting off markets and medical care from the members of Simulunda and surrounding communities for approximately four months every year. Our chapter is designing a pedestrian suspension bridge that will connect these communities year-round.

Madagascar Solar Project
Bringing Light to Schools
Kianjavato is many miles from the nearest power grid and has no central power. The homes that do have solar panels have barely enough power for a lamp and a single smartphone. Our chapter has been designing and installing small solar power systems at schools to provide power for lights and computers since 2011.
