ABOUT ESW-NU

MISSION:

Engineers for a Sustainable World (ESW-USA) focuses on the challenges of long-term, sustainable development by seeking lasting solutions for reducing poverty, and by working to improve environmental, social, and economic sustainability worldwide.

ABOUT US:

Engineers for a Sustainable World (ESW) is a nonprofit organization with a network of more than 3000 professionals and students working to reduce poverty and improve global sustainability. Every day, people around the world struggle to gain access to clean water, food and shelter for theirchildren, and an education to build a better future.

Every day, over one third of the world's people are trying to work their way out of poverty. For many, the daily struggle for water, sanitation, energy, and other basic services are barriers to more productive lives. Additionally, the growing world population continues to increase the demand on scarce natural resources, requiring innovative solutions and cooperation to ensure that we can provide for the needs of current and future generations.

Through domestic and international development work, education, and public outreach, ESW mobilizes engineers to address the challenges of global poverty and sustainability. Our members and volunteers are building a better future by developing innovative technologies, shaping policy, and fostering small-scale enterprise, improving lives and building a more sustainable world.
