Engineers without
Borders
Engineers
Without Borders Australia works with disadvantaged communities to
improve their quality of
life through education and the implementation of sustainable engineering
projects such as clean water systems, housing and
essential infrastructure.
Through the process of helping people in need we become more
socially aware and responsible, improve ourselves, inspire others to
action and further our ultimate goal of sustainable
development.
EWB's vision is of a world where every individual and community
has adequate access to the resources, knowledge and technology
necessary to meet their self identified human needs. We have the
technology that can treat water to make it potable, manage waste so
that it doesn't pollute, generate renewable energy and design
processes that can heal our earth. Our task is to make sure that
these technologies are accessible to all.
EWB envisions a transformed Australia where appropriate and
sustainable technology is at the forefront of every engineers mind.
We also perceive a conscious and concerned Australia that is a
leader in the fight against poverty and an advocate for the rights
of all people around the world.
Fundamental to this vision is EWB's conviction that each
individual has the ability and the responsibility to make a positive
impact in the world.
