Mission Statement

Engineers Without Borders Australia works with disadvantaged communities to improve their quality of life through education and the implementation of sustainable engineering projects.

Through the process of helping people in need we become more socially aware and responsible, improve ourselves, inspire others to action and further our ultimate goal of sustainable development.

The Vision

EWB's vision is of a world where every individual and community has adequate access to the resources, knowledge and technology necessary to meet their self identified human needs. We have the technology that can treat water to make it potable, manage waste so that it doesn't pollute, generate renewable energy and design processes that can heal our earth. Our task is to make sure that these technologies are accessible to all.

EWB envisions a transformed Australia where appropriate and sustainable technology is at the forefront of every engineers mind. We also perceive a conscious and concerned Australia that is a leader in the fight against poverty and an advocate for the rights of all people around the world.

Fundamental to this vision is our conviction that each individual has the ability and the responsibility to make a positive impact in the world.
