Passionate About:

Global Water Brigades combines numerous issues within underprivileged communities. Many medical problems result from contaminated water, so developing healthy water systems is crucial to public health. Many water sources are miles away, causing individuals to walk hours to water, which is a burden that usually falls on women and children. Obtaining clean water takes away time from other activities, like education oneself. This is why Global Water Brigades is so crucial to communities. Furthermore, these systems are engineered with leaders of the community. Actual community members will be telling us to do. That way when we leave they are independent and self-sufficient, all while utilizing sustainable materials.

Indiana University Water Brigade March 2017 Nicaragua



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.
