Engineers Without Borders Canada

Engineers Without Borders Canada (EWB) is a Canadian non-governmental organization focused on alleviating global poverty and inequality. Originally founded in 2000 with a focus on small-scale infrastructure projects, EWB has since evolved its model. The organization's current mission is to accelerate systemic change by investing in people and early-stage social enterprises in Sub-Saharan Africa. They achieve this by providing seed funding, talent, and mentorship to innovative ventures that have the potential to create sustainable, large-scale impact. EWB also cultivates a network of community leaders and advocates within Canada to promote policies and actions that support global development.
