Organization
Engineers in Action (EIA) is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of vulnerable communities in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Eswatini. EIA works in partnership with university student teams, professional engineers, and local communities to increase access to water and infrastructure, building their capacity and resilience. This helps ensure the long-term sustainability of the new systems. EIA concentrates on improving community health through water and sanitation programs, hygiene education, agricultural programs, pedestrian bridges, and even playgrounds.
Mission
- Provide isolated communities with increased accessibility
- Design a suspension bridge
- Fundraise the money necessary to cover all the project expenses
- Send student on the construction site during the summer
- Empower our students to become global leaders while connecting underserved communities
Bridge Program
The EIA Bridge Program focuses exclusively on cable-supported pedestrian bridges. Born and raised as the university program of the non-profit organization Bridges to Prosperity, we were acquired by Engineers in Action in September 2018, where we continue working with isolated communities to create access to essential healthcare, education, and economic opportunities by building footbridges over impassable rivers. Since 2006, students from over three dozen universities across the globe have designed and built 85 footbridges alongside rural communities in 11 countries, serving nearly 150,000 previously-isolated people. The Bridge Program currently operates field offices in Bolivia and Eswatini.
