Engineers Without Borders – Ghana Telecom University Chapter in collaboration with  Columbia University chapter of Engineers Without Borders in New York USA, organized  a four - week summer educational program for Ghanaian secondary school students during the summer at Nsawam the Municipal capital of Akuapim South Municipality in the Eastern Region, Ghana.

EWB-GHANA is a voluntary organisation, whose Members are to mentor and nurture the various Students (Campus) chapter members who will have to be the “field men” in the interaction with the rural communities in project sourcing and identification, financing, design, execution and maintenance in the various disciplines.

The focus of EWB-GHANA is on rural and deprived communities demands that as many professionals as possible whose services may be required in social work, identifying and interacting with the targeted communities in project needs assessment, identification through to design, financing and implementation takes more than engineering alone.

It is "Engineers without Borders", because engineering factors (water, sanitation, structures, energy, appropriate technology etc.) which are all at the core of projects to be involved with. 

It however, goes beyond engineering and takes much more than Engineers before projects are started and completed.
