Claire Francis Beveridge, PhD, PE
I am a civil/environmental engineer and hydrologist dedicated to sustainable water resource management and capacity building in underserved global communities.
Rooted in the love of Christ and guided by my Catholic faith, I strive to share compassion, hope, and solidarity — and I invite you to join me in this mission!
Throughout my career, I have learned and grown tremendously through working with communities, governments, and non-governmental organizations around the world. My experience includes agricultural education and development in Uganda, Amazon River conservation in Peru, river management in Bangladesh, and more.
I recently began serving with CEC. This is a beautiful blessing and opportunity to bring together my faith, commitment to serving those in deep need, engineering expertise, and love for connecting with people across cultures. I hope that in this work, our CEC team and community of collaborators, family, friends, and supporters can truly "do small things with great love" (Mother Teresa).
Help Bring Clean Water to 6,400 People in Cameroon! 🌍
From November 1 -15, 2025, I am excited to be part of the CEC team traveling to rural Cameroon. Together with the local people, our team of four will complete a water, sanitation and hygiene project that will bring clean water to 6,400 people in the villages of Bandam and Guingklo.
What We'll Do
- Oversee drilling and testing wells in each village
- Conduct water quality sampling
- Support hygiene education in schools and homes
- Assess sites for future engineering projects
- Partner with local leaders and committees to ensure sustainability
This work will provide long-term access to safe water — the foundation for health, education, and opportunity.
Why I Need Your Help
This trip’s water project work has been graciously funded through Rotary International, Spirit of Christ Catholic Church (Arvada, CO), and the Haywoods, but all travel costs are self-funded. Without support for travel, this life-changing work cannot happen.
Your donation will:
- Cover my travel costs so I can serve on the ground in Cameroon
- Support medical, educational, and relief supplies
- Encourage our CEC team as we build a future of ongoing service trips to global communities in need
💙 Truly, any amount makes a difference!
