BUILDING WHAT MATTERS MOST

We are on a mission to design safe and enriching buildings for those who need it most. We are on a mission to assist humanitarian organizations with a great ly needed service. We are on a mission to provide every university architecture and engineering student the opportunity to design a humanitarian project for their thesis. We are on a m i s s i o n t o b u i l d w h a t m a t t e r s m o s t .

Journeyman International (JI) is a 501c3 non profit that provides architecture, engineering and project management services to humanitarian organizations. Our unique model of utilizing university students and professional volunteers enables us to provide a world class service in a cost effective way.

S ince launching in 2009, J I has des igned 26 projects in 18 countries. Two projects are constructed and operating, three are currently in construction, and many more are in the pipeline.

We have laid some impor tant groundwork towards our missions. We have designed over 30 projects in 20 countries, and have completed a handful of them. And we are just getting started.

IMPACT

In order to understand the true impact of the JI model, an independent group put together a detailed analysis that compared the JI product with alternative methods. The analysis was based upon a 2014 vocational center in Uganda designed by the JI team. What follows is a summary of the results (the full report is available upon request).

AMBITION

We have the tools to change lives. Now we just need to do it.

Students and professionals are eager to work on humanitarian projects. We are able to provide the logistical coordination to make this opportunity available to them.

Each year tens of thousands of university students work on thesis projects. We aim to give each of them the opportunity to take on a real humanitarian project.

To inspire and train a new generation of humanitarians.

To provide efficient opportunities for industry professionals to work on humanitarian projects.

PROJECTSPONSORSHIP

Last year JI turned $56,000 in sponsorship into $640,000 in architecture and

construction services.

By coordinating students and professional volunteers, JI is able to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in services to humanitarian partners each year.

To pull this off we acquire project sponsors. Sponsors are businesses and individuals that financially support the development of a project. A $5,000 sponsorship enables us to invest 3000 hours, site visits, create detailed grant proposals and produce construction drawings.
