A few weeks have passed, but the energy from Gothenburg is still with us.💚

On April 25-26, over 50 members traveled from near and afar to share their visions and decide our path for the year ahead.

This weekend reminded us that our greatest power is our "borderless" nature. We operate at a unique intersection of global perspectives, with members and partners of various nationalities, backgrounds and professional expertise.

Together, we solve technical problems and create accessible, sustainable solutions that respect the nuances of the communities we serve. That is really something to be proud of! 💚

🫴 Relive the weekend and get to know the faces behind the mission on our website:

The foyer of Stena Center at Chalmers was filled with excitement and aspiration as members of Engineers Without Borders Sweden (EWB-SWE) gathered from across the country over the weekend of April 25-26.

Access to water is vital for any school to operate. 💧

In the heart of Tanzania, where the dry season tests the limits of self-sufficiency, Tumaini Open School gives young mothers a second chance at an education.

As part of their Master’s thesis, our volunteers Yasmine Jakobsson and Johanna Löf have been studying how to transform greywater, from dishes and laundry, into a valuable resource for the school. 🏫

From Concrete to Classrooms 🧱✨

This is the current state of the extension of Mavuno Modal Girls Secondary School in Chonyonyo, Tanzania. It’s beautiful, but it's not yet finished.

With the new school year starting in July, we are racing to install the essentials: sanitation, safety and IT systems, and the final coat of paint.

These walls represent the path to higher education for girls who have worked too hard to be stopped by a lack of funding. Let us finish this together! 🤝
