In 2013, the Iowa State chapter of Engineers Without Borders partnered with the community of Ullo in northwestern Ghana in an effort to help the community meet their basic human needs.
The students have made multiple trips to Ullo while planning and implementing a clean water system that allows the people of Ullo easier access to clean water within the community. This project was completed in January of 2019, and more projects are already underway.
While several Cyclone Engineers have had the chance to visit Ullo, until recently, no representative from Ullo was able to make the journey to Ames. This October, with the help of donors through the Iowa State University Foundation’s FundISU program, Zack Saeed, the eldest son of the Chief of Ullo made a visit to Ames and the Iowa State campus.
During his visit, EWB leadership member Michelle Friedmann sat down with Zack and talked about his trip, and the impact this student organization has had on the people of Ullo.
