What We Do and Who We Are

Purpose

EWB is a non-profit that partners with people from countries around the globe, and works with them to find solutions that will improve quality of life in their communities.

As part of the MIT Engineers Without Borders chapter, a student-run organization, we are learning practices that will make us lifelong change-makers. Our team is a diverse group of engineers, scientists, leaders, designers, humanitarians and innovators that's working together to create a better world, one community at a time.
