At EWB-NL we believe in the power of those who want to make a change; local entrepreneurs and leaders who strive to improve their life and the life of their communities.
Our goal is to promote, teach and implement sustainable technical solutions in developing countries which can be successfully adopted and maintained by local organizations, entrepreneurs and initiative takers.

Our volunteers work on multidisciplinary projects that combine the following five technical expertises:
Learn more about our engineering projects
Many communities and social entrepreneurs in low-resource settings lack the engineering and financial capacity to make their projects a reality. Our organization works to fill that void through a holistic and multidisciplinary engineering approach.
Example projects are drinking water systems, sustainable off-grid energy systems, smart apps or low-tech tools, and the sustainable build and operation of schools, factories and enterprises.
