Projects.

LadderLoo.

In 2015, the World Health Organization reported that 2.4 billion people still use unimproved sanitation facilities. Open defecation, flying toilets, and other unimproved sanitation options are used by many people. The LadderLoo is named for the sanitation ladder that the WHO/UNICEF use to describe sanitation facilities. The LadderLoo is a step up from open defecation. It is an affordable composting toilet system that can be implemented in individual households or as a business to help whole communities improve.

LadderLoo has been tested in North America, India, and Uganda.

Mexico City.

A team from Engineering for Hope traveled to Mexico City in October 2015 to do a surveying project to produce a map for a community that Conexión Mosaico, a local organization, works alongside. The map empowered the community in communications with the government and also identified future potential projects to improve the infrastructure of the community. In 2018, the city finished installing a water system in this community.

Conexión Mosaico has a vision of urban poor people, churches, communities, and cities transformed, renewed with hope, and equipped to promote human transformation, seek justice, and witness to the good news of God’s Shalom.

Haiti Scholarships.

In early 2020 Engineering for Hope provided scholarships to two students in La Victoire, Haiti to obtain electrical and plumbing certifications. Upon completion of their certifications, these students will return to La Victorie and provide much needed electrical and plumbing expertise in the community. EFH has also seeded a microloan program for 50 women in La Victoire, sponsoring training for loan officers, loan recipients, and ongoing fund management.

EFH’s work in La Victoire is in coordination with Sustainable Action International, which is committed to helping the La Victoire community create sustainable programs covering basic needs and economic opportunity.
