title: Humanitarian engineering: democratizing science and technology.
abstract: This paper is intended to mention some organizations detailing the type of activities being carried out and the action strategies; to analyze the situation in our country and, finally, to publicize our proposal to this problem. Capitalizing the experience gained in other parts of the world by different entities in order to promote the engineering humanitarian in our country, democratizing access to health, technology and the resources necessary to all the community, we will intend to promote that engineers and engineering students can take a part of the problem both domestically and worldwide, because we are part of the solution and we fit to take charge of the obligations as professionals and human beings.
