How does EWB decide where to work overseas?
Determining where to work is a great challenge as there are thousands of communities internationally living in extreme poverty. We are currently focusing our attention in Africa so as to increase our expertise in a region where the need is particularly great. We are also working in the Philippines and Haiti, where we are continuing our involvement in projects previously established. When selecting projects we look for communities in which the skills of our volunteers will be helpful, as well as an environment that is safe and free from civil strife and conflict.
