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.
