About Us

Founded in 2006, the Ruhr Chapter of Engineers Without Borders initially operated as a collegiate volunteer group for water, energy, construction and IT in Bochum, Germany. It became part of the nonprofit in 2007. Up to 25 people are now involved in a variety of working committees. We are interested in the collaboration of all ages and professional groups, since projects in development cooperation require not only technical know-how, but also skilled fundraisers and event organizers.

Projects:

In 2009, the Ruhr Chapter successfully assisted the construction of a girls' school in India, as well as the installation of solar panels in a Madagascan orphanage in 2011. Since 2012, the regional group is tackling the lack of critical infrastructure in a Malawi school of 1,000 students.

In addition to this time intensive project work, our other primary focus is promoting awareness for development cooperation in the Ruhr area. Through our work, we would like to increase public interest and serve as a platform for new ideas and exchange. To that aim, we speak at universities, corporate events and create workshops. It is not unusual for a discussion to erupt around our well-known waffle booth, or at our Christmas Market stall.  Working with us, you can look forward to an inspiring time. Engineers without Borders is also active on social media, always with the aim to promote projects and encourage development cooperation.
