Charity trio benefit from IChemE donation

Engineers Against Poverty (EAP), Engineers Without Borders (EWB) and RedR have been selected as joint recipients of IChemE's annual charity donation in lieu of a traditional Christmas Card mailing.

EAP is a specialist NGO working in the field of engineering and international development. EAP uses cutting edge technology in three key areas - infrastructure, the extractive industries (oil, gas & mining) and engineering education – with the aim of meeting the challenges of sustainable development and poverty reduction.

EWBI is an international association of national EWB/ISF groups whose mission is to facilitate, collaborate, exchange information and provide assistance to its member groups and affiliated organisations. EWBI helps member groups develop their capacity to assist poor communities in their respective countries and create a new generation of global engineers.

RedR relieves suffering in disasters by selecting, training and providing competent and effective personnel to humanitarian aid agencies world-wide.
