A team of civil engineering students decided to complete an extraordinary senior design project. They are building a foot bridge for a rural village in the mountains of Peru. This is the initial site survey. The team is actively seeking sponsors. Learn more at continentalcrossings.org

A group of engineers from UMass assist villagers with their water issues.

EWB@WSU survey trip to SE Kenya to collect data on a 28k waterline for 35k people.

During Fall Break, members of Clemson University's chapter of Engineers Without Borders traveled to New Orleans to help with cleanup efforts there. This video shows pictures taken while we were gutting a house for an elderly woman (Ms. Audrey, the black woman in the video).

From a site visit by UMass-Amherst chapter of Engineers Without Borders. Namawanga Village, Bungoma District, Western Kenya, March 2006. 0d 35'N Lat, 34d 40'E Long. The girls are singing about the perils of AIDS. We were there for a water project. Kudos to those who developed the AIDS program.

A short montage showing village life in Ngelenge, Tanzania. The San Francisco Professionals chapter of Engineers Without Borders - USA is involved in community development in Ngelenge.

This past summer the University of Missouri-Rolla's chapter of Engineers Without Borders traveled to two destinations in Bolivia to apply their engineering skills to local problems. The first destination was a small boarding school in the Amazon. There the problem consisted of finding a clean source of water. The second location was in Inca Katurapi, a small village in the Andes where there had never been latrines. UMR students and faculty developed composting latrines for the community in an attempt to help reduce the infant mortality rate. What follows is the story of that adventure.
