Current Project

Our chapter is now working with a second community in Guatemala to help them also design and build a new school. The Vista Hermosa Las Flores area is home to approximately 74 Maya families.

In October 2022, several of our team members visited the community and began to survey the site of the new school building. We met with many community members, including the current teachers, the mayor of the area, the school board, and the parents and future scholars of the new school!

Our team came back home and has worked diligently on the design and plans for the new school and have submitted them for review to EWB USA. Once they are approved, we will plan for our next trip to the community to break ground! ​

Past Projects

Las Victorias, Guatemala: families of this mountainous village partnered with our chapter to build a new primary school to lift their children and future generations out of poverty. Also shown above and on our Projects page.

​San Pedro Puxtla, El Salvador: this main street connects families to school, shopping, and healthcare. Formerly a steep and rocky gulley, residents now have a durable thoroughfare with adequate drainage for the wet season. See our Projects page for more information.
