Engineers for Overseas Development ( EFOD )
Our aim is to deliver projects which improve the health, hygiene, education and self-sufficiency of poverty afflicted communities in a sustainable manner.

We are a Charitable Limited Liability company, founded by Ian Flower in 2000 to enhance the experience of young construction professionals.

We challenges our members to undertake development projects amongst some of the poorest communities in rural Africa and provides them with an opportunity to broaden their skills and experience.
