Texas @ Austin Water/Public Health Pilot Ghana '13
  1. Affiliated Organization: Global Brigades USA
  2. Program: Water Brigades
  3. Chapter: Water Brigades at University of Texas at Austin
End Date: Jun 13, 2013 12:00 AM
Volunteer Activity Message

In June 2013, Global Water Brigades are going to the Central Region of Ghana to work in the community of Srafa Aboano, a fishing village with a population of rougly 900 people who have little or no access to clean water.

Water Brigades volunteers have an opportunity to pilot Public Health projects during their 10 day brigade. In addition, to implementing water systems to prevent water-related illnesses in communities with limited access to clean water volunteers explore Public Health solutions. Our in-country team members work with water experts and community leaders to design rainwater harvesting and Publich Health systems to serve individual homes and communities. Volunteers work side-by-side with community members to build projects, implement water filtration and sanitation solutions, teach about water collection and hygiene and organize community water counsels and school water clubs to maintain the projects. Between brigades our in-country team follows up in the community to ensure long-term sustainability and continued functionality of the project. Additionally Water Brigades and its volunteers provide education and training so that the community can properly administer, operate, and maintain their water systems and Public Health projects. With a holistic approach to development we plan to continue working with communities to improve their health and standard of living through the most fundamental resources on the planet, water and themselves.

A 10 day Water Brigade + Public Health Initiative provides volunteers with the opportunity to make a tangible impact to improve water access and quality of health in under-resourced communities while getting hands-on experience in the field of engineering, global health and sustainable development.
