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?

Come to our first general meeting of the year *tonight*, Tuesday September

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
small-scale hydropower, fuel-efficient cookstoves and biogas in Rwanda,
Tanzania and the Upper Valley.

DHE's small-scale hydropower project was recently recognized as a Dell
Social Innovation Tomberg Prize Finalist, NCIIA Venture Lab Award Winner,
EPA P3 Grant Recipient and Outstanding Student Humanitarian project in the
IEEE's 2011 Change the World contest for its innovative engineering concept
and business model.

14 students, from freshman to post-grads traveled this year to implement DHE
 projects!

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.
