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

An upcoming project with Rams without Borders. Due to an increasing student population in a school in Aldea Paxoj, there is a lack of infrastructure and sanitation required to meet the Ministry of Education’s requirements. This project will focus on re-designing and constructing latrines for the school.

Foco Cafe

A new and smaller project with Rams without Borders. A local cafe is redesigning their donation box called “The Giving Tree.” Our project is to help create a new design and build it. 

PINE RIDGE, SOUTH DAKOTA

This project is associated with EWB-USA.

Rams Without Borders is working in Pine Ridge, South Dakota with the Lakota community to provide them with an earthship. The building is designed to be completely self-sustainable with renewable energy and a rain catchment system and will be equipped to fit the needs of the Lakota people as a community center, housing, office space, and greenhouse. Construction started on the project in 2017.

La Criba, El Salvador

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.

This project was completed Spring 2022
