Human Centred Approach

Non-Development Policy

EWB Australia will only complete aid or development activities. Any potential projects or programs considered to be nondevelopment activities will not be completed by EWB Australia.
.
EWB Australia is a secular organisation and does not engage in or support any
evangelical activities and is not linked to any political party. In some instances
we may partner with local faith based organisations on the basis that their delivery is without evangelising or making participation conditional on conversion or adherence to a particular religious denomination. We also may partner with advocacy organisations on the basis that their activities are not in support of a political party or candidate. We are committed to ensuring that funds and other resources designated for the purpose of aid and development are used only for those purposes.  EWB Australia does not provide support for partisan political activities which are those that are associated with facilitating or supporting specific political individuals to gain power.

Applications for 2018 are closed now!

Engineer by profession, engineer in spirit

Picture this; you’re an undergraduate university student working on your first introductory engineering assignment where you are required to draw a bridge for a remote village in Cambodia. Or you are a Master’s student designing a HVAC system for households in Nepal, with variable temperature, pressure, and elevation levels to consider. University teaches you the basics – the software, the calculations, and how to write the report at the end – but how can you be sure that it’s fit for purpose in those locations? Do you really need to understand the socio-technical and cultural aspects of building something for a community you might never visit?

Building a reliable water supply for the residents of Darlau, Timor-Leste

Building a reliable water supply for the residents of Darlau, Timor-Leste

In Darlau, a village in Timor-Leste, collecting water was until recently a slow and physically demanding task. Every day, residents would trek to the only springwater supply and carry buckets back up a steep hill. This job was generally done by women and children – a round trip that could take up to 2 hours, and in extreme heat during summer.

‘Impactful Futures’ Immersives return on Lama Lama Country

‘Look, listen, learn’ was the mantra of Traditional Owners on Lama Lama Country during EWB’s Impactful Futures Immersive in July, which took participants on a journey through the tropical landscapes and cultural sites of Cape York for a week. By observing and attuning themselves to the sights, sounds and voices around them, participants were able to experience a deep immersion in the culture and history of Lama Lama Country.

“The EWB Design Summit program is unparalleled within engineering education. As an academic on the Design Summit program, I have seen first hand the transformational power of the program. Students leave the program with an entirely changed perception of their role as engineers and as members of a global community.”
