Our Work

Purposeful Partners

Through the collaborative work of our network over the past two decades, we have found that our best outcomes are delivered through intentional, secure, long-term partnerships. We know these thoughtful, impactful, groundbreaking partnerships lead to sustainability for our projects and a greater impact on the communities where we partner. We have formalized this way of working by adopting what we call the “Purposeful Partnership Model.” It’s how we look at what we do.

We want to fuel the growth of our local partners, invite them to set their own country’s/region’s strategy, and seek larger, more sustained funding sources together.

Engineers Without Borders International (EWB-I)

Engineers Without Borders International supports Engineers Without Borders organizations that are committed to working together and delivering demonstrable benefits to the world. 

EWB-USA is a member organization of EWB-I. We support the purpose and mission of EWB-I and the capacity of other EWB organizations across the globe.

All members of Engineers Without Borders International around the world share similar values and support similar goals towards ensuring people everywhere can enjoy a just and equitable life within the means of the planet.  Each Engineers Without Borders organization operates independently as its own NGO/INGO, and they often differ in the scope of their missions, organizational structure, and approach to development. Involvement with the EWB-I network is an opportunity to learn and partner.
