Talent Day with our volunteer Solomon 👋

Last week, our volunteer Solomon Manzi joined our friends at Sandvik for Talent Day at Tekniska museet. Solomon shared his experience as an engineer and EWB-SWE volunteer with students at the start of their engineering journeys.

“As a volunteer for EWB-SWE, it was a pleasure to spend a productive day collaborating with our largest corporate partner. I got to see firsthand how skilled Sandvik is at bringing people, ideas and innovation together,” says Solomon.

Being part of events like this is a chance to show young engineers that there are multiple ways to use their skills, including contributing to sustainable development and humanitarian work.

Thank you to the Sandvik team for welcoming Solomon and EWB-SWE to Talent Day — and to Solomon for bringing his experience and enthusiasm to the conversations! 😊

When the immediate crisis ends, our work begins 🤝❤️‍🩹

On the morning of 26 August, a huge section of a glacier in the Himalayas collapsed, triggering a flood wave of unimaginable force. Entire villages and communities were washed away or buried in mud. Roads and bridges disappeared.

Today, thousands of people stand without homes and schools. Soon, they will face the daunting task of rebuilding their communities and creating a new future.

This is where we can make a difference.

Today, we launch our fundraiser for the long-term recovery and reconstruction of safe homes and schools in Nepal.

Together with our long-standing partner Build up Nepal, we will use sustainable engineering and proven techniques to ensure that the houses rising from this disaster are designed to better withstand future environmental strains.

Join us and help implement these efforts. Link to our fundraiser in the comments! 💚

Humanitarian work starts with people 🤝

Today, on World Humanitarian Day, we recognise everyone working every day to advance human rights, safety and dignity, often under challenging conditions.

At Engineers Without Borders Sweden, we see how engineering expertise can contribute to tangible change in humanitarian contexts around the world.

But it’s about more than technology. Understanding local needs, building relationships and developing solutions together are essential to creating change that lasts.

This is at the heart of what we call humanitarian engineering – using engineering to address real needs and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable world.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone engaged in humanitarian work – and to our volunteers and partners who make our work possible. 💚

Can modern engineering help empower biodiversity and local economies? 🐝

Our answer is YES!

Today, we are proud to hear Vetenskapsradion in Sveriges Radio P1 reporting on our beekeeping project in Tanzania.

📻 Listen to the segment here (in Swedish), featuring an interview with Marianne Grauers:

Ett svenskt biodlingsprojekt i Tanzania ska ge fler människor försörjning samtidigt som bina bidrar till pollinering och biologisk mångfald.

Cooking with the sun 🥘☀️

What does it take to replace traditional cooking fuels with solar energy in a school kitchen? The answer is more than just installing solar panels.

Together with our long-time partner Mavuno Project, we carried out a comprehensive feasibility study to explore how solar energy can power a school kitchen serving hundreds of students in rural Tanzania.

The study identified a solution that can provide clean, reliable energy for preparing meals—even on cloudy days. 🌥️

🫴 Find out what the solution is: https://www.ewb-swe.org/news/2026/7/2/solar-cooking-takes-a-step-forward-in-karagwe

We're excited to see this project move from study to implementation. Stay tuned for updates! 💚

Simple tips for a more sustainable summer 🌿

Summer and time off often mean a chance to recharge and be more conscious about your daily doings. Here are three simple tips to keep your vacation both relaxing and eco-friendly:

🚲 Opt for two wheels: Take the bike to the beach or your favorite local spot instead of the car. Besides - it is usually much easier to find parking for your bike on busy days!

💧 Save every drop: Collect rainwater in your garden or balcony - like our friends do in Tanzania! Water late in the evening or early in the morning to minimize water evaporation.

☀️ Solar dry: Let the summer breeze take care of your laundry instead of using the dryer.

What is your best tip for a sustainable summer? 💬
