MADISON, Wis. - The Engineers Without Borders UW-Madison chapter is taking its fundraising efforts virtual due to the pandemic.
The fundraising campaign, EWBeUnited, is aimed to benefit four student-led projects in Ecuador, Guatemala, Puerto Rico and Uganda.
"Our goal this year is to raise $5,000 to support our four projects, ranging from providing clean water to generating solar energy," said Ryan Docter, President of the EWB UW-Madison Chapter. "As a non-profit and student organization, we rely on the generosity from the local community to continue to advocate for communities in need abroad."
