ANNUAL REPORT 2015 Engineers in Action

CONTENTS

During 2015, FIEA/EIA has experienced renewal in its

staff and direction. FIEA/EIA has continued the mission

to serve rural communities in Bolivia, through projects

providing safe water and basic services.

In the first months, the new EIA Executive Director,

Rod Beadle, a civil engineer, brought ample

experience in water projects and world relief efforts to

the organization.

In 2015, we hired two new project managers, Carlos

Augusto Valdez, and Carlos Ernesto Aguilera. This

provided much needed help with project operations.

Carlos Augusto holds a civil engineer degree from the

Bolivian Catholic University, with a MSc. degree

Environmental Management and Technology from

Universidad de Valladolid, Spain. Carlos Ernesto has a

degree in Environment and Development Engineering

from Universidad Zamorano, Honduras.

We had also the departure of the FIEA/IEMB liaison,

Lauren Butler, after three years in Bolivia. She is

pursuing her MSc studies in Earth Resources

Engineering at the Earth Institute, Columbia

University, New York.

The improved community selection process has helped

significantly in how FIEA/EIA approaches project

requests from communities. It takes an integrated

view of community needs and resources.

The fleet of FIEA/EIA vehicles has increased to four.

A new 2015 model Toyota Land Cruiser with capacity

for 12 people was acquired in the middle of the year. A

new 2016 model Nissan Frontier was purchased at the

end of 2015. This has increased the logistics support

for various projects.

Different memorandums of understanding (MOU)

were signed through the year. The main ones were

with the Iglesia Evangélica Metodista en Bolivia (IEMB)

church, and the Municipality of Sica Sica. Other

government and private organizations have

approached FIEA/EIA for possible MOUs (State of La

Paz, Bridges to Prosperity). As the activities and

responsibilities increase, it is evident that a full time

Director of Operations will be needed.

We are looking forward for the new challenges ahead

in 2016.

In 2015, we distributed a link to an online survey to all

team members who travelled to and worked in

Bolivia. The survey included questions about the type

of projects they worked on, the performance of their

EIA Project Manager, EIA’s other support services,

community support, and the team’s performance.

The survey link was distributed to 73 members of

teams that travelled to 13 communities. Forty - one

members filled out the survey.

The responses generally indicated a very high level of

satisfaction with EIA’s Project Managers and the

services provided by EIA. They also pointed out a

need for us to improve communications with the

teams and with the communities we serve prior to

the trips. While communications with remote

communities can be especially challenging, we are

working hard to improve these services in 2016. We

were especially pleased to see that 97.6% of

respondents indicated that they were likely (17.1%)

or very likely (80.5%) to recommend continuing to

work with EIA in the future.

Please visit our website for a more complete

discussion of the 2015 Team Survey Results:

www.engineersinaction.org

“Our PM is fantastic and I don't think there is anything else he could have done to be better.”

“EIA was very accommodating and easy to work with. Although not necessary, I think it would be beneficial to also have a translator that speaks

fluent Quechua so that it is easier to communicate with all the community members.”

“Very impressed with EIA, the community, and everyone's hard work and dedication to get the

project completed!”

“EIA is doing a great job and has made great strides in improving the process, particularly in

interacting and communicating with the community.”2

KONANI : F R O M O N E W E L L T O A C O U N T Y - W I D E P L A N

In 1993 the Tulsa, Oklahoma Southside Rotary

Club, the Evangelical Methodist Church in Bolivia

(IEMB), and the village of Konani drilled what is

believed to be the second deep water well in the

Altiplano of Bolivia. The community soon built

greenhouses and economic activities increased,

along with improved health, and town growth. In

2006 the Municipality of Sica Sica built a second

water well and elevated storage tank serving an

area of Konani where there were new homes.

However, the town has continued to grow and

the water supply was not enough to supply the

larger population.

In 2014 St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in

Ponca City, Oklahoma provided a professional

engineering design to Sica Sica to help address

this problem which included joining the two

separate water systems, repairing and improving

the distribution system, and adding storage.

During that time a Spanish NGO built a sewage

system for the community which included one of

the first sewage treatment systems in the

Altiplano.

In 2015, the plans developed by St. Paul’s UMC

and facilitated by EIA were completed. The two

distribution systems were combined and the

administration of the original well was turned

over to a trained community - based organization,

Empresa Pública de Saneamiento y Agua (EPSA) of

Konani. The Spanish NGO also completed its

sewage system, giving Konani one of the most

modern safe water systems in the Altiplano.

The success of the water systems in Konani led

the Municipal Council of Sica Sica to create a plan

to bring similar projects to all of its communities.

In an extraordinary meeting, members of state

and federal government water agencies and

several NGOs met in Sica Sica to develop a

strategic plan to bring water to all. We believe this

may be the first ever, rural, municipality-wide

water plan in the municipality.

“The success of the water systems in Konani led the Municipal Council of SicaSica to create a plan to bring similar projects to all of its communities.”


9

The work EIA has done in Konani has led to a deep

trusting relationship with the municipality.

Consequently, they asked us to work in three

additional village in the area. We gladly accepted,

signed an MOU, and found new partners. The

three new projects and are partners are: Llojlla

Grande – EWB Southern Methodist University,

Culli Culli Alto – EWB North Texas; and Piquiñani –

EWB Memphis.

We will continue to monitor the operations of the

Konani system and be available for consultation.

We look forward to similar successes in the three

new communities and the success of Sica Sica’s

plan.

TACACHIA : T H E C O M M U N I T Y T H A T C O U L D N O T W A I T

Engineers in Action (EIA) and its partner Missouri

University of Science and Technology, Engineers

Without Borders Chapter (EWB-S&T) have been

working in Tacachia since 2008. Projects have

included designs for opening a 25 km road in the

mountainous terrain, latrines, an irrigation

system, erosion control, biosand filters and a

water distribution system. 2015 projects planned

included the implementation of a water

conveyance line from a spring four kilometers

away, repairing the distribution lines, repairing

ram pumps for irrigation, and collecting

sustainability data for the biosand filters. These

plans for improvements were thoroughly

discussed with the community. All parties were

worried about getting this much work completed

during the 10 day work trip by EWB-S&T.

About 10 days before the team was to arrive, EIA

engineer Ernesto Aguilera delivered to the

community a full truckload of pipes, fittings, glue

and the materials needed for the water

conveyance line, and repairs.

When the team arrived, they were shocked to

find that most of the materials were gone, but it

wasn’t because someone had stolen them. The

community was worried that the team wouldn’t

have time to complete all of its work, so they did

the work themselves! Upon inspection, EWB-S&T

engineering students and mentors agreed that

the community had done an excellent job. There

were just a few minor areas where the line

needed to be worked on and there was one

section left that crossed treacherous terrain.

The community didn’t want to put any EWB-S&T

students at risk, so they volunteered to do the

work under the supervision of the team. EWB-

S&T was thrilled to see this community show the

initiative and organization to carry out a project

this large.

“The community was worried that the team wouldn’t have time to complete all of its work, so they did the work themselves!.”


11

With the main line already completed, the team

was able to focus on other areas of need including

completing the connections between the line and

the storage tanks, repairs on the distribution

system, and repairs to the ram pumps. They also

moved the water tank to a location about three

meters lower than the original location so an

overflow pipe at the top of the tank could allow

excess water to drain into the upper irrigation

canal. There is now safe, dependable water being

delivered to taps in every home in Tacachia.

The implementation phase of this project is

coming to a close. The local water committee has

taken over complete administration of the

system. EWB-S&T’s and EIA’s role for the next few

years will be to evaluate the project and assist in

repairs.

CARANI : S T E P O N E

“The team also conducted a topographical survey using EIA’s total station equipment (…) But most importantly the team listened and built relationships and trust with the community. .”

Carani is a community of 163 in the Altiplano near

Lake Titicaca. This is the first year of EIA working

with Carani and our partner, the University of

Idaho, Engineers Without Borders Chapter (EWB-

UI).

The most crucial trip for a project is the initial site

visit. On that trip, a team must not only complete

technical assessments, but, more importantly,

build lasting relationships with the partner

community. EIA engineer Augusto Valdez and

EWB-Idaho had a very successful assessment trip

to Carani in 2015.

The team performed household surveys which

revealed that many community members have

access to water supplied by the tanks and tap

stands in the wet season. Whenever the existing

system does not function, due to frozen tap

stands, plugged or broken pipes, or depleted

storage, community members get water from

shallow, hand-dug wells or nearby undeveloped

springs.

The team also conducted a topographic survey

using EIA’s total station equipment. Critical

locations such as households, pipelines, and

storage tanks were surveyed in order to enable

hydraulic design of water system improvements.

Water storage tanks were measured to allow

storage volume computations.

Most importantly, the team listened and built

relationships and trust with the community. The

community prioritized the Centro Norte zone of

Carani as the area they want EWB-UI to work first,

since this zone has families with no access to

water. They listened. They talked. And they

danced. And now the community is ready to work

with them.


13

EWB-UI is currently working on their designs

and look forward to returning to Carani in

2016. The goal will be to improve and enlarge

the Centro Norte zone’s water system and

provide a sustainable source for water supply

for that area.

Infrastructure improvement programs implemented in

the developing world by aid organizations often fail for

social, cultural, and political reason rather than

technical causes. When selecting communities for new

programs, we have learned that it is not enough to

focus on the community’s levels of need but we must

also evaluate their technical and social capacity and

their attitudes towards development work.

In 2014 and 2015, EIA developed and implemented an

asset-based community development (ABCD)

community evaluation program to provide higher levels

of program success and deliver more sustainable

development programs. Our experiences over the past

eight years has shown us the paramount importance of

choosing appropriate community partners. To develop

our ABCD program, we took a close look at all of our

current and past programs to identify and evaluate the

primary factors that contributed to program success.

Our staff collectively reviewed these factors and

developed asset-focused community survey forms and a

scoring matrix to ensure a more systematic and

consistent selection process.

The ABCD program is intended to help us develop a

better understanding of community characteristics and

help us to better match communities with

appropriate partner organizations.

We implemented the ABCD program in the middle of

2015 and used it to evaluate several potential

new communities. The staff agreed that, in all

cases, it was a valuable tool to help us make

better decisions that will benefit community

members and our partners. In 2016, we will

continue to apply ABCD and we will strive to refine the

process to improve program success and sustainability.AB

Plus 326 other donors

We had 529 individual and corporate donations and grants made in 2015. They come from 45 U.S. states and 4 countries.

Thanks to all of you!

What an incredible year we had in 2015. This has

been a year of capacity building and change. Our

entire organization is being upgraded to allow us to

handle more teams, communities, and programs.

The greatest transition was the hiring of our new

Executive Director. As a growing, complex

organization, we needed someone with experience

running an engineering firm and working in

developing world engineering.

And we found the guy! Rod Beadle is a civil engineer

with 32 years of experience in the design and

construction of infrastructure improvement projects

throughout the world. He was the founder and

president of a 30 person consulting firm in the Chicago

area. He also served as a volunteer on disaster

response teams in some of the world’s worst recent

disasters including the earthquake and cholera

outbreak in Haiti, floods in Pakistan, drought in the

Horn of Africa, cholera in Sierra Leone, the typhoon in

the Philippines, the Ebola outbreak in Liberia, and the

refugee crisis in Greece.

In 2014, Rod contacted me telling me that he felt

called to spend the balance of his career working with

a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the

lives of the world’s poor. After a period of transition,

Rod became the Executive Director of EIA in October

2015, and I transitioned to Assistant Executive

Director, focusing on resource development and fund

raising.

Rod has brought a level of professionalism in the

management and work of our staff in Bolivia. His

passion for this work is infectious and his experience

and skills are improving the quality of our work. He

also has an even larger vision of what Engineers in

Action could become than I had.

I truly believe that under Rod’s leadership, Engineers

in Action is going to become a stronger, more

professional organization whose impact is going to

grow exponentially. I look forward to seeing where he

leads us.

Won’t you join us in this amazing ride as we reach out

and improve the lives of the world’s poor?

David Stephenson.Founder, Assistant Executive Director

THANK YOU

Looking back on 2015, I am truly amazed at how much

this organization was able to accomplish. I have been

blessed to work with incredible groups of volunteers,

board members, partners, and community members. I

have been especially impressed by the professionalism

and dedication of our staff. One of EIA’s central

missions has been to develop the knowledge and

capacity of indigenous professionals. We are so very

proud of what our engineers and interns have

accomplished at EIA. Dr. Ruben Mamani, our Director

of Operations, is an excellent example of this. He has

recently accepted a fellowship position to teach a new

generation of global-minded engineers at St. Francis

University. We greatly appreciate the sacrifices he has

made and his dedication to service over eight years

with EIA and we are excited for his new position.

2016 promises even more exciting developments

including:

•After hosting 14 teams in 2015, we have already

scheduled 20 for 2016 with more expected.

•Our staff will expand as we hire at least three new

Project Managers.

•Our office space will double as we occupy a second

floor in our existing building in La Paz.

•We have expanded our equipment and services to

include field and laboratory water quality testing and

GPS surveying capabilities.

•We have hired a new Health Promoter and are now

offering program monitoring and evaluation services,

baseline/outcome studies, and hygiene promotion

workshops.

•We are solidifying existing partnerships and

developing new ones with like-minded organizations

including Bridges to Prosperity, Engineers Without

Borders France, More Than Sport, Rotary Clubs, and

the Bolivian Methodist Church.

•We will be hosting our own volunteer teams

including a group that will help to design a clean water

system on Suriqui Island in Lake Titicaca.

•We will continue to expand and develop new

relationships with Bolivian government agencies at the

community, municipal, state, and national level.

•We are redeveloping our website to make it easier to

provide support, get involved, and to learn more

about us and our impact.

•We will continue to explore opportunities to expand

in Bolivia and into other Latin American countries.

I am often asked if it is hard to find good engineers or

enough communities in need of clean water,

sanitation, and infrastructure in the developing world.

My response is that there is no shortage of qualified

engineers and certainly no shortage of communities in

need of help. The only thing that limits us is finding

enough resources to hire the engineers and to reach

the communities. That is why we are so thankful for all

of you who have supported us in 2015 and who will

help us to expand our programs in 2016 and into the

future.

Pax,

Rod Beadle, PE, Executive Director.
