WORDS FROM THE SPOKESPERSON
Ruvan Mendis
EWB-UK Chairman
Engineers Without Borders UK is a unique student-led charity. EWB-UK improves the lives of people in developing countries by removing the barriers to alleviating poverty through engineering.

Our vision is a world where access to technology or infrastructure is not a barrier to alleviating poverty. Young people in the UK have desire and commitment but alone they are not fully equipped to meet the challenge. We provide opportunities for learning, training and direct action to enable student, graduate and professional engineers to make a difference.
OUR PROJECTS/CURRENT EMPHASIS
Poverty Alleviation
Engineers Without Borders UK has six programme areas each of which works to facilitate human development through engineering, whether in the near-term through our placements and bursaries programmes, or by investing for the long-term, through our education and outreach programmes.

Placements - Voluntary work experience placements for students and young professionals to share their skills with and to learn from partner development organisations in the UK and abroad.

Bursaries - Funding for our member's own projects that contribute to international development and their own learning.

Research - Projects to deepen students' understanding of development issues and increase the technical expertise available to partner organisations.

Training - Courses and events to raise awareness and to develop the skills that are needed for effective work in international development.

Outreach - Activities with schools and young people to raise awareness of engineering in international development and to inspire the next generation of development professionals.

Education - Opportunities to include international development in university engineering education in order to help create a new generation of engineers that can respond to global issues.
