Today, more than two billion people lack access to the most basic things—clean drinking water, adequate sanitation, reliable passage to local markets and more. The Engineers Without Borders-USA (EWB) vision is a world in which the communities they serve have the capacity to sustainably meet their basic human needs.
​
EWB members are in remote corners of the world right now working hard to make EWB’s vision a reality. As a result of EWB’s ongoing projects, children can cross sturdy bridges to attend school, local clinics have consistent supplies of electricity, and accessing clean water isn’t a full-day chore for families.
​
EWB’s vision is ambitious but achievable and everyone has an important role to play—including you. Every contribution to their cause helps EWB engineer a better world. Visit www.ewb-usa.org to learn more and get involved. Also, check out the Great Lakes Region facebook page here.
