Engineers Without Borders (EWB) started in 2002 with 8 students and 1 faculty member that shared the same vision of supplying sustainable basic human needs to underveloped communities worldwide. Since the their vision has grown to over 13,000 members across 180 campuses with 250 chapters. EWB-USA strives to create transformative experiences and responsible leaders by empowering members to find community solutions for water supply, sanitation, energy, agriculture, civil works, structures and information systems. [[File:Tate EWBUSA 1.jpg|thumb|Tate EWBUSA 1.jpg]]From gathering information, designing a thorough solution and implementing that design, members of Engineers Without Borders have impacted more than 2.5 million lives.

The University of Maine (EWB-UMaine) is also well known for their professional work. Not only do they have strong student involvement, EWB-UMaine also has many professional engineers within the state working closely with students. EWB-UMaine is working on a portable water project for the village of Dorgobom, Ghana, to make water more accessible and safer to drink.[[File:Tate EWBUmain 2.jpg|thumb|Tate EWBUmain 2.jpg]] EWB-UMaine has been quite creative in funding this project. They hold many raffles, bi-annual yard sales, bowling events and even a beer and wine tasting. Perhaps their most innovative fundraiser, making jewelry from Ghanaian beads, provided students with the ability to get a closer look of where their time and effort was going. You can read more about EWB-UMaine's projects and reach out to the student team on their [http://ewbportlandmaine.org/ website].
