For millions of people around the world, drinking contaminated water or traversing an unsafe bridge is a dangerous reality. EWB-USA is changing this reality—one well at a time, one bridge at a time, one community at a time.

Our mission is based on more than blueprints and measurements; it is based on real relationships and five-year partnerships with communities. We do more than build latrines for communities—we equip them to build and maintain latrines themselves. In 2013, we deepened our commitment to sustainability by requiring communities to financially contribute to a project’s construction costs. All of our measures ensure that the community will be able to meet their basic human needs long after the five-year commitment is fulfilled.

EWB-USA’s 2013 Annual Report illustrates that engineering change truly is a team effort. Through the combined efforts of our generous donors, our passionate volunteers, and our dedicated community partners we are building a better world.

Engineers Without Borders USA (EWB-USA) supports community-driven development programs worldwide by collaborating with local partners to design and implement sustainable engineering projects, while creating transformative experiences and responsible leaders.

N I C A R A G U AThe 209 families of the Tierra Nueva, San Jose and Nueva Esperanza communities focus on growing, diversifying and marketing their crops to pay back land loans and become landowners. In January 2013, the EWB-USA Puget Sound Professional Chapter assessed the growers’ identified needs. In 2014 they plan to implement a wastewater treatment system to support the community’s new coffee-processing wet mill.

EWB-USA currently operates 39 agriculture projects around the world.

E L S A L V A D O RThe people of Las Pilitas now traverse a new road that paves the way to the more resourced area of the main town. The community worked alongside the EWB-USA Central Ohio Professional Chapter to remove car-sized boulders from the steep ravine that would become their road. In 2013, construction is complete and the road is functioning as designed.

EWB-USA currently operates 30 civil works projects around the world.

I N D I AGovernment-provided diesel generators could not meet the basic energy demands of the Symbiosis School in Rampur, so the EWB-USA Carnegie Mellon Chapter installed a sustainable alternative energy source: solar panels. The team inspected the installed solar panels and analyzed their safety and effectiveness in August 2013. While this project is being monitored, the viability of a similar project in a neighboring school is being assessed.

EWB-USA currently operates 55 energy projects around the world.

YR W A N D AIn Bungwe, insufficient infrastructure and high population growth hamper the community’s ability to access clean water for domestic and agricultural use. In fall 2013 the EWB-USA University of California San Diego Chapter assessed the existing water supply system and began designing alternative solutions. In September 2014 household rainwater harvesting systems will be implemented to provide an estimated 5,250 people with an additional source of water.

EWB-USA currently operates 389 water projects around the world.

“Engineering change is

all about empowerment:

empowering communities to

be the catalyst for their own

development; empowering

students to take the theories

they learned in class and

put them into practice; and

empowering professionals

to become leaders through

T O G OThe EWB-USA University of Mississippi Chapter is reconstructing a storm-damaged schoolhouse that serves more than 400 students in Hedome and its neighboring rural villages. The project broke ground in August 2013 with the foundational construction for two classrooms. When the four-phase project is complete the facility will include four classrooms, a library and three offices.

EWB-USA currently operates 83 structures projects around the world.

G H A N AThe EWB-USA Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Chapter has designed four public single-pit latrines to be built in the community of Gomoa Gyaman in August 2014. These are the first public sanitation solutions for this community. Each latrine will have eight stalls and serve 250 residents.

EWB-USA currently operates 88 sanitation projects around the world.

Our volunteers have the unique skill set and passion to engineer change in all corners of

the globe. These stories offer a glimpse at EWB-USA’s vision of a world where everyone can

sustainably meet their basic human needs.

In 2013, we began requiring a financial contribution from communities. What does this contribution look like? In Sadrach Zeledon, Nicaragua, the community committed to give $80 per household to support the construction of a water distribution system. This sustainability investment accounts for 30% of the project budget and increases the likelihood that clean water will be flowing in Sadrach Zeledon long after our five-year commitment is fulfilled.

This year, with the support of our corporate partners, we deepened our commitment to sustainability by launching a framework to measure EWB-USA’s impact across the globe. The Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Program provides our 286 chapters with organizational tools to monitor a project’s impact in a community. The program’s goals are two-fold: increased accountability to our partners and communities and an improved community-driven development delivery model.

From our community partners to our corporate partners,

each investment is an investment in sustainability.
