WHAT WE DO
Since 2006 in our Bridge Program, thousands of volunteers from 50+ universities and companies across the globe have designed and built 125+ footbridges alongside rural communities in 12 countries, effectively connecting over 200,000 previously isolated people to essential resources.
Our Mission
Engineers in Action's (EIA) mission is to support development of sustainable systems and infrastructure with underserved communities, local expertise, and global partners.
EIA's Bridge Program empowers today's students to become tomorrow's global leaders by building bridges with underserved communities.
Our VISION
EIA envisions a world where everyone can live healthy and dignified lives with access to essential services.
EIA's Bridge Program envisions a world in which global citizens connect across cultures to improve quality of life and ensure geography doesn’t determine access to opportunity.
“We are determined to take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path.”
