About
Engineering a Better World is a sister group of Engineers Without Borders at UCLA, set up in 2022 to take on service projects outside the national EWB-USA program, often with other nonprofits. Its first project, in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia, covers latrines, a clean water tank and a digital library for a primary school, and had raised $12,500 in grants and crowdfunding by late 2024. It also works with the Freedom and Hope Foundation and Her Future Coalition on a chicken farm for a school in rural Nepal that educates at-risk girls. Students from any major can join.
