Drexel University Water Brigades June 2016 Honduras



Amanda's Message

Please help me reach my goal so that I am able to work with other volunteers and travel to Honduras from June 11th-20th, 2016 to build a clean-water filtration system. In Honduras, a typical family lives on less than $2/day and each person has access to less than 3 gallons of water per day. 9 out of 12 people in Honduras do not have access to clean water. Around 65% of all illness in rural Honduras is water related.

Volunteer Activity Description

Global Brigades offers 9-day Water Brigades throughout the year in Honduras and Nicaragua. Water Brigades' mission is to empower communities to access sufficient clean water through infrastructural development, water treatment, community leader training and education. Water Brigades volunteers assist in implementing clean water systems to prevent water-related illnesses in communities with limited access to clean water. One of the fundamental roadblocks to community development is lack of clean water. With a sufficient quantity of properly treated water, community members can cut off the connection between water and illness and ultimately live healthier, more productive lives. Volunteers work side-by-side with community members as well as with our in-country project technicians in all aspects of the water system's construction while learning about its design, functionality, and long-term sustainability.
