Abstract
The charity Engineers for Overseas Development has been active in sub-Saharan Africa for over 20 years. It encourages teams of young engineer volunteers from the UK to design and construct small projects for the benefit of the rural poor, while enhancing their experience by delivering a complete scheme early in their careers. This paper details the charity’s health work over the years, and recent work on two hospitals in Uganda. It shows how young engineers can make a real difference for some of the world’s most needy and help develop the skills of local workforces in the process.
