Engineers Without Borders USA builds a better world through engineering projects that empower communities to meet their basic human needs. Our highly skilled volunteers work with communities to find appropriate solutions for their infrastructure needs. 

 

At the University of Toledo Chapter, we have worked on international projects in Irkaswaa, Kenya and two communities in Honduras including Los Sanchez and La Barranca. Our chapter also helps our local community through volunteering events such as Clean Your Streams and BIG Event.
