Want to bring electricity to isolated villages in Africa?

Want to fight deforestation and save people hours of walking to fetch firewood?

Want to develop sustainable business models -- and then actually set up the business?

Want to apply your economics, anthropology, ENVS, language, writing, web design,  
photography, marketing, organizational, leadership (or even engineering!) skills  
to help solve real-world problems?

Want a hands-on, actually meaningful extracurricular that will let you improve  
people's lives?


Then come check out Dartmouth Humanitarian Engineering!

Don't worry about starting late, come to our meeting tonight, Tuesday November  
8th at 8pm in Cummings 200!

About DHE

DHE is an award-winning, impact-driven organization comprised of students from  
every year and most majors. We run a variety of projects, including hydropower,  
fuel-efficient cookstoves, biogas, and water quality monitoring in Rwanda, Tanzania  
and West Virginia.

DHE's small-scale hydropower project was recently recognized as an Outstanding  
Student Humanitarian project in the IEEE's 2011 Change the World contest for its  
innovative engineering concept and business model.

20 students, from freshman to post-grads, have spent a term traveling for DHE  
in the last year.

Our partners include CARE International, the Jane Goodall Institute, the Rwandan  
Ministry of Infrastructure, and other engineering student groups at Imperial College  
London and the Kigali Institute of Science and Technology.
