Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Environment, International, International Development, Public Utilities, Water, Water Resources, Wetlands Conservation & Management
Mission: Provide access to low-cost/high impact technology solutions to those living in central america.
Programs: In 2016, our clean water program helped 41,145 rural nicaraguans in 71 new communities get access to safe water through an appropriate low-cost water chlorinator. Eos is now supporting over 230,000 people throughout nicaragua. Eos provides education, installation and training including a chlorine tablet distribution program to ensure long-term collaboration with local government and access to water free of microbial contamination.
our renewable energy program improves the health of the family and the envrionment. Solar panel systems and biogas stoves reduce deforestation, increase air quality, and reduce the expense and time needed to cook and light homes for 661 nicaraguans in a hotel of 72 homes in 2016. Eos is now supporting over 2,500 people throughout nicaragua with these life-improving technologies.
through our student exchange program, 12 university engineering students and an engineering professor spent a month in nicaragua working on developing prototypes for four different technologies, each with the goal of improving the quality of life for families in nicaragua. The technologies included a brick maker, biochar reactor, soil test kit, and rick hull cook stove. Not only do these designs stand to benefit the people of nicaragua, this experience is beneficial for the american university students as well.
through our income generation program, 400 people were given the opportunity in 2016 to create or grow small businesses through our drip irrigation systems and improved ovens. Inexpensive, local materials keep the prices of these system affordable to people who live below the poverty line, and the investment can be earned back in less than a year. Our new programs including evaluation, new partnerships, and new growth all helped to reach new geographic regions through partners for future expansion.
