Without Borders – USA is a non-profit [501(c)3] humanitarian
organization established to partner with developing communities
worldwide in order to improve their quality of life. This partnership
involves the implementation of environmentally- and economically-
sustainable engineering projects, while involving and training
responsible engineering professionals. Typical projects deal
with sanitation and public health, drinking water supply, irrigation
systems, and generation/distribution of electricity (e.g., using
solar power) to remote villages. |
 |
| The
projects are always accomplished with the assistance of the
local community who is benefiting from the project. This community
provides labor and a share of the equipment and material resources.
In addition, local engineers or students are trained to operate
and maintain the system once it is in place, thereby assuring
long-term sustainability.
Several
Austin-area engineers have formed a local chapter - EWB-USA
Central Texas - and we invite you to join us!
