Engineers Without Borders Australia

Our vision is a world where everyone has access to the engineering knowledge and resources required to lead a life of opportunity, free from poverty.

We connect, educate and empower people through humanitarian engineering*. We do this by:

- Working in partnership to address a lack of access to basic human needs such as clean water, sanitation and hygiene, energy, basic infrastructure, waste systems, information communication technology and engineering education.

- Educating and training Australian students, engineers and the wider community on issues including sustainable development, appropriate technology, poverty and the power of humanitarian engineering.

- Leading a movement of like-minded people with strong values and a passion for humanitarian engineering within Australia and overseas.

*Humanitarian engineering is a people centred, strength-based approach to improve community health, well being and opportunity.
