Engineering Ministries International UK (EMI UK) is a non-profit Christian development organization made up of architects, engineers and design professionals who donate their skills to help children and families around the world step out of poverty and into a world of hope.

Each year, more than 2.2 million people in developing countries die from diseases associated with lack of access to safe drinking water, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene (UN Water Policy Brief, 2005).

EMI UK exists to transform lives by providing hope to the poorest of the poor.

Our Services
EMI UK is a Christian ministry that designs facilities that serve the poor in developing countries. These facilities, including orphanages, clean water projects, medical centres, and more, directly impact communities by meeting physical needs and communicating God's love in a practical way. We partner with overseas missions and indigenous ministries who have a vision to help the poor and present the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our Volunteers
To produce our designs, EMI UK blends a team of volunteer Project Managers with Engineers, Architects, Surveyors and Construction Managers recruited from the United Kingdom and from around the world. These volunteers donate their time and travel costs to join the teams, adding their expertise and insight to give the best designs possible and, at the same time, witnessing the Good News of the love of Jesus Christ to the people they serve.

[International Offices]

Engineering Ministries International UK opened its doors in 2008 and registered as a UK Charity in the summer of the same year. Based in Great Wenham, Suffolk, EMI UK currently has one full time- and one part-time staff member. This year we will be concentrating on recruiting volunteers and generally making EMI UK known in the UK. Until we are fully operational, we will be running joint projects with other EMI offices worldwide.
