Chapman University Water Brigade June 2016 Honduras



Natalie's Message

Hi Everyone! As many of you are probably aware, the world has a slight water crisis on its hands. Clean drinking water can be extremely hard to come by, especially in developing countries. I'm lucky enough to have the opportunity to go to one of these countries, and help the people of a rural community set up a more sanitary and efficient water system. What I am doing isn't stereotypical charity work, what my group and I would be doing is more of assistance. Instead of coming into Honduras and "fixing" the people's water system, we would be coming in and helping the people fix it themselves, making the process more self-sufficient and lasting.
I am so excited to be a part of this group. That being said I could use some help. Between the flight tickets, living expenses, and supplies needed for the trip, expenses have added up. My current goal is to raise a little under $2000. Please donate to my Water Brigade! Anything helps!

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.
