EWB-I helps its member groups develop their capacity to assist underserved communities in their respective countries and around the world.

## Organizational structure

EWB-I is a virtual organization with staff located in both the United States and South Africa. EWB-I is run by an international board, composed of representatives of the EWB/ISF groups.

The member groups of EWB-I support the association's vision for "A sustainable world where engineering enables long-term positive social and global development for the benefit of people and the environment everywhere." EWB-I seeks to promote collaboration and fulfill its mission "To be the beating heart of the engineering movement for sustainable global development, building and evolving engineering capacity throughout the world.

## Projects

Projects conducted by individual EWB/ISF member groups are grassroots and small and are not usually addressed by in-country consulting firms.

EWB-I also endorses the Earth Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
