Sunya Akhter

Passionate About:

Hi my name is Sunya Akhter, this summer I have been given the amazing opportunity to travel to Nicaragua with Global Public Health Brigade chapter at Drexel University. Last year I traveled to Honduras on a Water Brigade, this was a life changing and eye opening experience, which has now inspired me to continue on with this organization and volunteer and empower under-resourced communities!
It has always been my passion to help others, this trip will not only allow me to help the underprivileged communities in Nicaragua, but would also open my eyes to different issues faced by other countries on a daily basis. With your help, I will achieve the goal of providing a health infrastructure along with providing these communities with the education they need to maintain healthy living conditions. Any donation will make this incredible experience and opportunity possible! Thank you for all of your support!!

Volunteer Activity Message

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.
