Established in 2006 at Boston University, we are a group of college students that share an enthusiasm for bringing change and progress to developing communities. 

By directly partnering with developing communities, we aim to improve their quality of life through the implementation of environmentally sustainable, equitable, and economical engineering projects while developing internationally responsible engineers and engineering students. 

Currently, we are focusing our efforts on improving the health and quality of life in the community of Naluja, Zambia. We aim to do this through various initiatives that are detailed in our projects.
