EL PITAL/LAS TABLAS, EL SALVADOR
Similar to the project in La Criba, Rams Without Borders CSU has been working with the community of El Pital and Las Tablas, El Salvador for the past couple years. Our overall plan is to install a water distribution tank and transmission line for the community to provide easy access for their community. This project is not associated with EWB-USA.

GUATEMALA
EWB Professional Chapter, EWB CSU Student Chapter, and Utz Che, a nonprofit in Guatemala, are partnering to support Utz Che in the design and build of projects that will benefit the 40 plus partner communities in Utz Che’s network. Currently, the primary project is La Pecesita, an educational center that will provide classes on sustainable agriculture practices and more. Utz Che and its partner communities have already built the foundation, framework, and roof of La Pecesita. EWB will provide engineering support for the geotechnical study, water and septic system, and water tank that are needed to finalize construction for La Pecesita.

La Criba, El Salvador
This project was completed completed Spring 2022!
Rams Without Borders CSU has been working with the community of La Criba, El Salvador for the past decade. In 2016, RWB installed a water distribution tank and transmission line for the community after an earthquake left them with no way to get water. The community now has a new chlorination system for the tank and RWB is exploring erosion mitigation on the transmission line to complete the project. This project is not associated with EWB-USA.
Local: Fort Collins
Rams Without Borders works actively in and around the Fort Collins community. RWB participates in numerous Colorado State University sponsored philanthropic projects, as well as projects with partners like Habitat for Humanity, local schools, and the FoCo Cafe, a non-profit restaurant that brings farm fresh food to anyone and everyone.
