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. I invite you to join me in this mission!
Throughout my career, I have been honored to work alongside communities, governments, and non-governmental organizations around the world. My experience includes agricultural education and development in Uganda, community-based conservation of the Amazon River in Peru, river disaster management in Bangladesh, and more.
I began serving with CEC in September 2025, which has been a blessed 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 through this service, our CEC team - along with our community of collaborators, family, friends, and supporters - can truly "do small things with great love" (Mother Teresa).
Help Bring Clean Water to 21, 920 people in Cameroon! 🌍
From March 19-31, 2026, I will join a small CEC team of four in rural Cameroon. We will partner with residents in the villages of Bandam, Nguingklo, Ashong Batiba, and Bwiteva to implement water, sanitation, and hygiene projects. This collaborative work is projected to bring clean water to 21,920 people.
What We'll Do
- Optimize New Systems: Inspect and fine-tune recently installed wells and water distribution systems in Bandam and Nguingklo.
- Plan for the Future: Assess sites and needs for future engineering projects in Ashong Batiba and Bwiteva.
- Promote Health & Sustainability: Support hygiene education in schools and homes, and partner with local leaders to ensure projects are maintained for generations to come.
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!
