Elevating our world through project management impact
Project Managers Without Borders (PMWB) partners Project Managers with extraordinary not for profit organizations to affect change and empower communities worldwide
Empowering change with PMWB
Founded in 2014, Project Managers Without Borders (PMWB) had an ambitious goal to recognize and multiply the impact of project management for those in need. Today, PMWB is a global, not-for-profit, Project Management services organization that connects professionals with other not-for-profit or non-government organizations (NGO) to empower and equip them with sustainable project management processes, tools, and solutions aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
The transformative impact of PMWB
PMWB significantly enhances our partners' ability to execute impactful projects. By improving efficiency, aligning strategic goals, and managing resources effectively, we empower organizations to achieve greater outcomes.
Experience the heart-warming journey of María Laura González, PMP, and Fundación Educación Vial as they collaborate to enhance road safety in Panama. They are truly making a difference through PMWB and the PMI Hours for Impact program, contributing to the advancement of UNSDGs #3, #4, #9, and #11.
