About EWB-USA CU
The Columbia University chapter of Engineers Without Borders aims to address the problems facing people both locally and abroad by leveraging the skills, talents and passions of Columbia University students and the partnerships formed with our organization. Our members come from all engineering and arts backgrounds, sharing the desire to do meaningful work in improving the lives of others through creative, sustainable, engineering solutions. |
What We Do
The chapter currently has three programs in Ghana, Morocco and Uganda. The Ghana program, which started in 2004, currently focuses on water management in the farming community of Obodan and used to work in the semi-urban town of Sakyikrom. The Morocco program, which began in 2011, has been readying itself to travel for the first time during the Summer of 2011. In 2008, the Uganda program was established to install a Multi-Function Energy Platform in the Soroti region. Each project draws from the skills of its members to provide technical solutions to worldwide problems. |
