Village Aid Project

Village Aid Project We take sustainability very seriously. As a matter of fact, we believe that this is, perhaps, the most important thing we do.

A student-centered, humanitarian organization that partners with needy communities in the developing world to to find sustainable solutions to their critical engineering problems. In addition to our mission statement, we are training a new generation of students who understand the need for sustainable systems and who value the concept of responsible global citizenship. If our projects are not sust

ainable then we are not, in the long run, truly helping these communities. We have developed a sustainability plan that includes our five year commitment, participatory planning by the community, intensive education and training, and the use of appropriate technology. To be a long-term success, each system must be appropriate and sustainable within the environmental, social, and economic context of the community and region. Achieving this goal is fundamental to our mission and requires an educational component in our projects that is of equal value to the technical component. Engineers without borders does not build systems for communities; we partner with communities, providing the technical and financial resources that allow the villages to reach their goals. Community ownership and capacity building are paramount.
