Engineers Without Borders International (EWB-I) is an international association of national EWB/ISF groups. EWB-I helps the member groups develop their capacity to assist developing communities in their respective countries. The member groups of EWB-I share the mission to partner with disadvantaged communities to improve their quality of life through education and implementation of sustainable engineering projects, while promoting global dimensions of experience for engineers, engineering students, and similarly motivated non-engineers. EWB-I creates links between these like-minded organizations and cuts across national borders. Projects coordinated by individual EWB/ISF member groups are grassroots. EWB-I member groups ensure that they are not competing with private engineering firms.
