Organization's Mission

Northwestern University's chapter of Engineers for a Sustainable World (ESW-NU) is a student engineering group dedicated to helping the global community to develop in an environmentally sustainable way. Our mission is to help international communities improve their quality of life by providing technical and financial assistance in projects which benefit the communities' long-term environmental, economic, and social health.

Organization's Programs

ESW-NU is working on two projects in Panama. One involves providing communities in Chagres National Park with solar energy and the training to build and maintain photovoltaic systems. The other project deals with wastewater treatment in the city of Portobelo, Panama. ESW-NU is also collaborating with the organizations Green Empowerment and Asofenix to work on a biogas digester project in rural Nicaragua.
