About Us

Water is Life. For most of us, water seems cheap and plentiful and we take it for granted. Yet, every day, billions of less fortunate people living on the fringes are forced to drink from contaminated sources and to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to gather water for their families and livestock.

Fundación Ingenieros en Acción Ecuador (FIEA Ecuador) is dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of vulnerable communities in Ecuador. We work in partnership with local communities to increase access to water and infrastructure, building their capacity and resilience. This helps to ensure the long term sustainability of the new systems.
