EWB University of Calgary Chapter

Engineers Without Borders promotes human development through access to technology. Human development is about people: their desire and struggle to expand their freedoms and lead lives that they value. In this quest, access to appropriate technology plays a key role — every day, people work to improve their technology, laws, institutions and governance in the complex circumstances that poverty, alienation and voicelessness create.

Members of EWB are passionate about helping people gain access to the technology they need to improve their lives. We do so by contributing our knowledge, financial resources, volunteer time, skills, and collective voice to help communities around the world.
