EWB@UWM is a student chapter of the Engineers Without Borders 501 (c)(3) charitable organization based at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. All proceeds from the Run 4 Water MKE go toward systems to provide clean water to villages in the rural Ixil Triangle of Guatemala. The water systems are designed by students in collaboration with professional mentors to meet needs identified by the villagers themselves. The students then travel to Guatemala and work with the local community and a Guatemalan NGO to install the systems. This collaboration gives the students great real world experience while also directly improving lives and making the world a smaller place. Run 4 Water so they don't have to and support this great cause!
