Just Infrastructure Lab Programme

Launched in November 2019, the programme is new and a very small part of the broader EWB-SA world. We are excited to test if this idea finds traction! The first project within the Design-a-Difference programme is a really cool one that focuses on using bicycles to increase the mobility of a community in urban Johannesburg. 

Engineering for People Design Challenge

The Engineering for People Design Challenge brings a real-world community into the engineering classroom to help students learn the skills and knowledge needed to design for under-served communities, and to be globally responsible engineers.

Student Chapter Work

Over the years, the EWB-SA Student Chapters have completed tens of projects aimed at improving the communities in different ways.

Bambasonke Design Challenge

Just as the word Bambasonke means ‘take hold together’ in IsiZulu, together, we can engineer a future that bridges gaps, uplifts vulnerable populations, and builds a more inclusive and prosperous South Africa. This challenge brings a real South African community into the engineering classroom to help students learn the skills and knowledge needed to design for underserved communities.

Human Centered Design Workshops

Human Centered Design is a methodology supported by EWB-SA in all of our community based projects.
