Engineering/Business (Ateb) Overview

Apropriate Technology Environment and Business Development

To reflect the wider range of projects in which the 'engineering' link is involved the group has been renamed 'Ateb'. Ateb is welsh for 'answer'.

Our Mission is:
"To support the people of the Mbale region of Uganda in the alleviation of poverty by working together in partnership on sustainable engineering and small business projects"

The group is involved in a variety of areas:

  • Water provision
  • Mechanical engineering workshop
  • Environment
  • Hospital support
  • Construction materials development
  • Business development
  • IT

We are currently working on a water project that will benefit 6,000 people. Cardiff Breakfast Rotary Club are raising the funds for this.

Since the begining of 2007, the group has been working on setting up a small mechanical engineering workshop as a business in Mbale, the profits of which will augment the funding for other PONT projects.

Details of the environmental work can be accessed via Partnership Links, Environment.
