Engineers Without Borders: Bringing Clean Water to Nicaragua
Sierra Gawlowski, President-elect, EWB Puget Sound Professional Chapter
Engineers Without Borders-Puget Sound Professional Chapter (EWB-PSP) partners with Agros International, a nonprofit that seeks to end the cycle of poverty through land-ownership. Residents of La Bendicion, Nicaragua are trying to transform a wartorn battleground into a community. Their biggest need is a sustainable source of clean water, and EWB has collaborated with community leaders to develop a new water supply system. EWB-PSP volunteers have completed the design and are traveling to La Bendicion this April to kick off construction on three water sources, distribution lines, a storage and treatment tank, and spigots for each home.
About the Speaker
Sierra Gawlowski began volunteering with Engineers Without Borders in 2009 on a water supply project for a rural community in Bolivia. She currently serves as co-lead on the La Bendicion Water Supply Project and as President-elect for the EWB-Puget Sound Professional Chapter. Sierra recently transitioned into the public sector after several years as a civil engineering consultant.
