Engineers Without Borders USA
Engineers Without Borders USA (EWB-USA) is a nonprofit humanitarian organization established to support community-driven development programs worldwide through partnerships that design and implement sustainable engineering projects, while providing transformative experiences that enrich global perspectives and create responsible leaders. Today, more than two billion people lack access to the most basic things—clean drinking water, adequate sanitation, reliable passage to local markets and more. EWB-USA’s vision is a world in which the communities they serve have the capacity to sustainably meet their basic human needs. EWB-USA members are in remote corners of the world right now working hard to make EWB-USA’s vision a reality. As a result of EWB-USA’s ongoing projects, children can cross sturdy bridges to attend school, local clinics have consistent supplies of electricity, and accessing clean water isn’t a full-day chore for families. EWB-USA’s vision is ambitious but achievable and everyone has an important role to play—including you. Every contribution to their cause helps EWB-USA engineer a better world.
