  Engineering Brigades is an international network of college students and professionals that volunteer to develop and implement clean water solutions in the developing world. In collaboration with Water Brigades, this program empowers volunteers to build relationships with rural communities and assess water systems to provide clean water and sanitation solutions. Our holistic model focuses on education and infrastructural development to ensure sustainability. Engineering Brigades empowers volunteers with hands-on experience, materials, and support to deliver solutions that provide value while preserving local culture and conserving the environment.
