The original branch of EWB-UK, Engineers Without Borders Cambridge was founded in 2001. Its subsequent success in gaining the support of students across the country has given rise to EWB-UK as a national organisation. Today Cambridge remains the centre of EWB-UK operations, providing Cambridge students with excellent opportunities to become involved with the organisation's work.
A smaller team remains dedicated to co-ordinating EWB activities on a local level, organising guest lectures, research initiatives and training courses as part of the university's International Development community.

This money will help subsidize the volunteer placements and to help pay for the water quality testing and chlorine sampling kits for the research projects, which are being initiated. Well done guys!
