2026 Team - Peltetec, Ecuador

Meet the 2026 Stanford Engineers Without Borders team! This year marks Stanford EWB’s first-ever international project trip, with our team traveling to Ecuador for the assessment phase of our project with the Peltetec community. During the trip, we’re working alongside community members to better understand their water needs, gather technical data, evaluate existing conditions, and explore potential solutions. What we learn during this assessment will guide the engineering design and future implementation phases as we work together toward a sustainable, long-term water treatment solution.
