Hydropower

Based out of Banda, Rwanda

Dates Active: 2008 – 2015

About: This long-term project centered around hydropower as a form of sustainable energy. Through a series of immersion trips, team iterations, and continued engagement, DHE members built hydropowered dams for villagers who could then bring car batteries to a local kiosk to be charged. This charger would then be used as their main source of electricity. The project concluded after the end of the 2014 – 2015 school year.
