Engineers Without Borders USA

Rocky Mountain Professional Chapter

ABout Us

The Rocky Mountain Professional Chapter of EWB-USA is a group of diverse individuals, who come together around a common purpose. These professionals have included engineers, scientists, policy specialists, attorneys, fundraisers, marketing specialists, returned Peace Corps volunteers, public health practitioners, language specialists, project managers, and more.

Our mission is to build a better world through engineering projects that empower communities to meet their basic human needs and equip leaders to solve the world’s most pressing challenges.

Community Involvement

Every EWB-RMP project starts with the initiative of the community requesting assistance. RMP’s work begins in developing relationships with our community and NGO partners.

Design & Implementation

RMP works closely with our partners to design appropriate solutions. After these designs are peer-reviewed by expert members of EWB-USA, local community volunteers construct the project with RMP oversight.

Success

The community takes full ownership of the sustainable project as well as responsibility for all operation and maintenance. EWB-RMP and our in-country NGO partners monitor the system and provide guidance to the community if needed in the years following the completion of construction.
