From the organizer
EWB’s 4th Annual 5K Stride for Sustainability invites community members to run in support of health and environmental awareness while raising funds for impactful projects in Malawi, Rwanda, and Woodford.
Engineers Without Borders UIUC is a student-led nonprofit that builds a better world by empowering communities to meet their basic human needs while equipping students to solve the world's most pressing challenges. We realize this mission through projects such as bridges, water and wastewater systems, and electrical systems.
Our chapter is currently working on projects in the United States, Rwanda, and Malawi. We work to ensure that our projects are sustainable in terms of environmental impact and that they are able to serve the needs of their communities for years to come.
Join us as we run to raise money to build infrastructure for communities around the world!
