Projects in Africa: South America

Laurel Gompuene is an indigenous highlands community near Flores, Ecuador. The community hosts less than 130 residents among approximately 32 homes. The community is served by a local water system which does not serve all homes in the community. Residents also indicated they cannot keep up with increasing repair needs and requested EWB to assess and provide improvements. EWB completed the first assessment trip during late Summer 2023 and is currently active on this project.
