Building a World with Essential Infrastructure for All

Across the globe, billions of people still live without safe access to clean water, sanitation, hygiene, education, healthcare, markets, and more. Engineers in Action partners with communities to change that - building the essential infrastructure that connects families to opportunity and protects health for generations to come.

Our university chapter is proud to be part of that mission. Together with students and professionals around the world, we design and build bridges and WASH systems that transform daily life for communities in Bolivia, Eswatini, Ecuador, Peru and beyond. Through this work, we gain hands-on experience, learn from our partner communities, and see the direct impact engineering can have on people’s lives.

Watch the highlight video below to see what that impact looks like - from students and professionals working hand in hand with communities to families crossing their new bridges and turning on clean water for the first time.

Help Us Build Our Next Project

This year, our team is fundraising to help bring another life-changing project to life. Every dollar goes directly toward materials, logistics, and the support needed to make it possible.

At EIA’s current capacity, it costs just $50 to serve one community member. That means:

$50 can help a child reach school safely.

$50 can connect a mother to healthcare.

$50 can bring clean water to a family in need.

Give what you can - or rally friends to help you reach that $50 together. Every gift builds connection, health, and hope.
