Engineers without Borders

The association “Engineers Without Borders Israel” works to promote the quality of life of the population in Israel and developing populations around the world, through engineering projects that related to sustainability and environmental quality. The Technion branch, which was the first in Israel, was established in 2008 along with the establishment of “Engineers Without Borders Israel.” Their first project was a biogas project in partnership with a village in Nepal and local associations. In another project in the Negev, the volunteers designed a heat transfer system that can be used during the hours when there is solar radiation, to meet the community’s need for heating during the operating hours of the kindergartens during the day. Today the branch has about 50 active members in four groups operating in Israel and around the world.
