GLOBAL BRIGADES IN CANADA

Water Brigades at Dalhousie University

• About
  Global Water Brigades (GWB) designs and implements water systems to prevent communicable illnesses in communities with limited access to clean water. In-country team members work with water experts and community leaders to design large scale water systems for the entire community. Once the water system is blueprinted, volunteers work side-by-side with community members to implement and provide the education for maintenance through the creation of “community water counsels.” Between brigades our in-country team ensures that the water councils are functioning and have the necessary funding to perpetuate the longevity of the systems created.
