CIHT Cymru Wales; Engineers for Overseas Development (EFOD) – Faith School

Microsoft Teams Webinar – CIHT Cymru Wales

Overview

Provided by CIHT Cymru Wales, this presentation will talk about Engineers for Overseas Development (EFOD).

Looking at the current work that is being completed by the Wales and South West branch in Uganda and how Covid influenced how it performed, this event is for all people interested in international development and sustainable development.

Being projects that are entirely funded by fundraising and run from design through to construction by volunteers, our speakers will cover the challenges faced and the impact it has had on the community and the school.

This will be followed by a Q&A session.
