EWB-USA supports community-driven development programs worldwide by
collaborating with local partners to
design and implement sustainable engineering projects, while creating
transformative experiences and
responsible leaders.
Our VISION is a world in which the communities we serve have the capacity to sustainably meet their basic human needs, and that our members have enriched global perspectives.
OUR VISION & MISSION
EWB-USA carries out small-scale infrastructure projects, which are initiated by the community in need.
EWB-USA programs are full partnerships with a host community and one or more local NGOs. These partnerships are the basis of a long-term relationship to assure the community’s needs are sustainably met.

STORIES IN THE FIELD
During a flash flood, a mother calmly waits for her girls to cross a new bridge in Matagalpa, Nicaragua.
The community celebrated the opening of the bridge just one day before the flash flood. There was no safe crossing here prior to the bridge. Thanks to the Matagalpa community, the EWB-USA Rice University chapter and CH2M Hill employee Todd Wang, the community can now cross the river rain or shine.
Watch the EWB-USA University of Maryland College Park chapter’s video about their project in Addis Alem, Ethiopia:
