Kenya Footbridge 
Ewaso Ng'iro River
Construction

Trip 1 Team 1 Tim Muli and Clay Stevens

On our first trip, EWB-OC members Clay Stevens and Tim Muli focused on gathering materials and digging the holes 
for the abutments that were to later to be constructed by Team 2.

EWB-OC members on Team 2, Mujahid Chandoo and Sean Callan, continued the work with the abutments and anchorage 
that will later be connected with the cables and slates put in place by Team 3.

Team 3 members Daniel Ramey and Matt Lipa completed the work of the slates, cables, and finishing construction work
which completes the team goal of providing a footbridge for the region and community of Endana.

We want to thank you for your interest in our project!

The Orange County Professionals Chapter of Engineers Without Borders-USA is involved in community-driven sustainable engineering projects in developing nations worldwide.

Our Kenya Footbridge project aims to build a bridge across the Ewaso Ng'iro River to enable the people of Endana to access the Segera Mission Clinic.

In addition to medical services, free preschool, kindergarten, and grade schools, the Segera Mission has an orphanage.

Currently the able bodied people are unable to cross the river during flooding and rainy seasons.  In addition, children and elderly must make the 18 mile trek around the river to reach the clinic and school.  

The bridge would allow year around access to school and clinic for the entire community. We began construction August 18, 2010.
