Building Resilient Communities & Long-Term Partnerships
Key Impact Areas
Bridges
Isolation caused by impassable rivers is a root source of poverty all over the world. We build footbridges with isolated communities to ensure year-round, safe access to education, healthcare and employment.
Water
Billions of people, mostly in rural areas, still lack access to clean drinking water and sanitation. EIA builds the critical infrastructure that prevents death, unlocks economic productivity, and changes lives.
Education & Workforce
From over 20 university bridge building chapters to corporate partnerships that connect these passionate students to future professional opportunities, EIA is preparing the next generation of experienced, globally-minded engineers.
