Engineers in Action is dedicated to increasing the capacity of individuals and families across Latin America and South Africa.

We set ourselves apart from other organizations by ensuring investments and implementations are committed to the right communities at the right time. We use a model developed by EIA’s own staff to identify ideal communities: ones in need with a commitment to the long-term success of our work. This model of efficiency helps us focus our dollars, time, and expertise on the most beneficial and permanent impact. 

Most importantly, we invest in the people we serve. Eco latrines, sanitary drinking water, and pedestrian bridges have a huge impact on community health, but providing training to community members increases their own capacity. While they gain the skills to maintain their implementations, they grow their own knowledge base for a better future for the community. Our program types include water, sanitation, bridges and structures, playgrounds, health and hygiene, community improvement and more.

EIA strongly accomplishes its mission in partnership with over 20 active university chapters across the U.S. & Canada. To date, the University Bridge Program has constructed 100 bridges with 41 university chapters across 12 countries, effectively serving 150,000 people.
