Our projects

Rutgers Enactus currently has 3 non-profit projects that range across a wide scope of subjects. Each of these projects is meant to create a sustainable solution that fulfills one or more of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

Crisp

This project partners with communities suffering from neglected tropical diseases in Senegal to find, fundraise for, and implement a simple yet sustainable solution that reduces the economic and social burden of those afflicted by the disease. Last summer, CRISP members engaged in a study abroad program in which students flew to Senegal and conducted water tests, met Enactus Senegal, and built relationships with local experts.

New beginnings

New Beginnings aims to reduce recidivism rates, or the rate at which people reoffend, through mentorship and employment. Within 5 years from release of prison, 76% of people are reincarcerated. To help with this issue, New Beginnings built a website and mobile app that serve as information hubs in which previously incarcerated people can find much needed resources such as food banks, clothing drives, and financial literacy materials. New Beginnings is now working to get this website into the hands of those who need it, and improve upon the website they have built.

Agoraponic farms

Agoraponic Farms aims to serve the New Brunswick community by using hydroponic farming systems to create a sustainable and environmentally conscious non-profit and ultimately address the issue of food insecurity. New Brunswick is a food desert, which means that fresh produce and healthy food is not readily available to many residents. Hydroponic farming provides a mechanism for growing produce year-round and indoors. So far, Agoraponic Farms has won grants, built two systems (one in the Helyar House on Cook/Doug and one in the Alexander Library on College Avenue), and delivered fresh produce to the College Ave Food Pantry.
