Mission Statement:EWB@UWM works in coordination with EWB-USA, a non-profit humanitarian organization, 501(c)(3), established to improve the quality of life in developing communities. 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. EWB@UWM aims to combine sustainable engineering with a passion for human life. Our humanitarian work brings running water to impoverished villages in the Ixil Triangle of Guatemala. We have chosen to volunteer our time in these projects because water is an essential part of life. We believe that everyone has a right to access our planet's most valuable resource. EWB@UWM also aims to improve the sustainable use of energy in Wisconsin. Through local design and outreach we strive to bring new concepts to areas around our university or businesses that have an interest in our work. These sustainable engineering projects train us students to be socially responsible engineers and global citizens.
