Partnering with EWB to bring clean, reliable water systems to communities in need
At ProAutomated, we spend our days troubleshooting, commissioning, and perfecting complex automated systems across North America. But we also believe that our engineering skills can—and should—be used to make a global impact. That’s why we partner with Engineers Without Borders (EWB) to volunteer our time, expertise, and hands-on labor to support communities in Guatemala.
Many remote villages in Guatemala face the same critical challenge: a lack of reliable access to clean drinking water. Trading our usual industrial job sites for the beautiful yet rugged terrain of Guatemala, year after year our teams of field engineers have stepped in to help construct a sustainable water system. Our teams worked side-by-side with local community members and EWB organizers to dig ditches, carry supplies, bend rebar, mix, pour, and shape concrete into structures that will carry fresh water from far-away springs and store them directly in the communities. These efforts will save the hard working families hours of time by not having to hike miles into the forest to bring back only the water they can carry. Instead they’re able to spend that time tending to their farms, helping their neighbors, or simply enjoying their families.
