Poverty is not about weakness. For the 800 million people who go hungry each day, poverty is an absence of opportunity.
Engineers Without Borders is responding to this urgent need, helping people in developing communities gain access to technologies that will improve their lives. We believe that technology, when appropriately incorporated into each community’s social, cultural, economic and political context, can drive extraordinary change.
The Pittsburgh Professional Chapter are professionals who volunteer to plan, finance, oversee and implement forward-thinking engineering projects in disadvantaged communities worldwide. Projects range from providing safe, clean water to a village in Kenya and empowering the community by education, to providing electricity in a village in Thailand.
The Pittsburgh Professional Chapter also seeks to mentor engineering students in the Pittsburgh area to help develop the next generation of globally aware enginners.
Working with the community and building a better world… one community at a time.
