University of Arizona Water Brigade March 2017 Nicaragua



Eli's Message

This upcoming spring break (March 11 – 19, 2017), I will be traveling with Global Water Brigades from Arizona and to Nicaragua. Global Water Brigades is part of the world’s largest student-led health and sustainable development organization called Global Brigades. Each year Global Brigades mobilizes thousands of university students around the world to participate in 9 different skills-based programs to improve the quality of life in under-resourced communities.
In Nicaragua there are approximately 800,000 individuals that don’t have access to safe, clean water. On average over 200 children die each year to illnesses associated with dirty water. Our mission is to install a system that will provide these communities with clean water to reduce the occurrence of water-related diseases.
On my upcoming brigade, I will be working hand-in-hand with students, translators, and Nicaraguan community members. This will be the seventh Water Brigade led by students of The University of Arizona. In previous years, we installed sustainable water pipeline systems to deliver clean water to houses within a community. As a result of voluntary donations that directly supported our efforts, clean water was readily accessible to community members who previously had to travel miles to obtain unsanitary water. This trip will allow me to further broaden my perspective related to global engineering issues and global health issues. Without the help of Global Water Brigades many of the communities in Nicaragua will not have the means to escape water-related disease.
Please join me in supporting the work that I will be doing in the communities of Nicaragua. Any support you can give will make a tremendous difference. As a donor you will be contributing to the sustainability of the Global Water Brigades’ work in the communities we are working with. To make a donation please follow the following instructions:

Volunteer Activity Description

Global Brigades offers 7-day Water Brigades throughout the year in Honduras. 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.
