Humanitarian Groups
Engineers Without Borders - International (EWB-I) facilitates the collaboration, exchange of information, and assistance among its national member groups. EWB-I helps the member groups develop their capacity to partner with disadvantaged communities to improve their quality of life through education and implementation of sustainable engineering projects, while promoting new dimensions of experience for engineers, engineering students, and similarly motivated non-engineers. The activities of EWB-USA range from the construction of sustainable systems that developing communities can own and operate without external assistance, to empowering such communities by enhancing local, technical, managerial, and entrepreneurial skills. These projects are initiated by, and completed with, contributions from the host community working with our project teams. See http://www.ewb-international.org and http://www.ewb-usa.org.
