School affected by flooding,
GuyanaThrough the design and construction of roads, water
supply systems, irrigation, drainage and all forms of
infrastructure, we have used our skills to the benefit of
vulnerable communities throughout the world.
Our commitment to infrastructure recovery can be traced back to
1977, when individuals from the company became involved in the
founding of RedR, the Register of Engineers for Disaster Relief.
Since then we have used our skills to assist in disaster and
recovery situations through our project work, and through
sponsoring staff to work with RedR and other charitable
organisations.
We are currently working in northern and eastern Afghanistan,
rebuilding infrastructure in order to support vulnerable
communities and give farmers options for agriculture which will
enable them to move away from poppy production.
In Tajikistan we are working with farmers who have fared badly from
the recent independence from the Soviet system and from civil war
by rehabilitating critically needed rural irrigation, water supply
and sanitation infrastructure, raising agricultural productivity,
improving access to markets, creating employment, and ultimately
increasing incomes, while allowing beneficiaries to increase their
food security.
In Guyana in 2005, heavy rainfall led to severe flooding throughout
the populated areas. Mott MacDonald carried out an emergency
project to rehabilitate the drainage infrastructure and ensure
against further flooding in the summer rains.
