PROJECTS
Symetri Move4Health
Move4Health was an internal company charity run raising funds for one of EWB's projects in Tanzania: safe healthcare at Mkula hospital.
Throughout a week staff joined the digital race and got moving for the sake of their health and the health of others and each donation from employees was then matched by Symetri to support the construction of a new laboratory at Mkula hospital.
Water Supply Chonyono
The citizens of Chonyonyo, Rukole and the area around have a very stressed water situation. Women and children walk several hours to reach natural water sources and the water is not of good quality. The aim of this project is to supply clean water to the villagers of Chonyonyo and Rukole and also to the Chonyonyo girls secondary school.
Engineer to Engineer
Symetri partnered with Engineers Without Borders and Malmö University in the Engineer to Engineer project "Revit for newly arrived engineers".
The project was an 8 week Revit-verification-course that consisted of a 4 day Revit structure basic course provided by Symetri made in combination with an examination project at Malmö University.
This resulted in a Symetri course certificate and a diploma from the University that could be used as a reference of knowledge when applying to jobs.
