WHO WE ARE

Engineers Without Borders USA exists to help build thriving communities around the world. We build a better world through engineering projects that empower communities to meet their basic human needs. We celebrate the joy that comes when communities get safe water flowing for the first time, light that now shines where it was dark, and bridges and pathways that connect to new opportunities. Our team is committed to community engineering to make a meaningful, lasting, and positive difference that elevates the leadership and autonomy of our partner communities. We are part of an equitable, global network of organizations that focus on community engineering to promote social justice.
