Our engineering team partnered with Comfort My People Rwanda (CMPR), a non-profit specializing in enabling access to clean drinking water and housing for single mothers in Rwanda. In some rural regions of Rwanda, people must walk up to 4 miles each way to centralized water treatment or collection facilities, carrying water back with them to their houses. To solve this problem we designed and tested a rainwater catchment system that can be implemented on new houses CMPR plans to build, as well as retrofitted to existing houses. We also made design changes to CMPR's house plan to optimize it for rainwater catchment
