After a long wait, the University of Wisconsin-Madison student chapter of Engineers Without Borders will soon work with community members on the other side of the world to begin construction on two schoolhouses in rural Uganda.
Engineers Without Borders is a nonprofit organization that supports international projects to bring clean water, power infrastructure and schools to communities. UW-Madison’s EWB chapter has several teams devoted to projects in Guatemala, Ecuador, Uganda and Puerto Rico, and new members can decide which team they want to join.
