Test Public Health Brigades Chapter2 Germany

Test University is a chapter of Global Public Health Brigades, an international movement of university students working to improve health conditions in the developing world. Through an evidence-based model, we work alongside local community members to build projects that tangibly improve lives in Honduras, Nicaragua and Ghana. Volunteers work with local masons and families to build eco-stoves, latrines, concrete floors, showers, and/or water storage units. To ensure long-term sustainability and maintenance, the Public Health program team trains and empowers local community leaders in the formation of a Basic Sanitation Committee. The Basic Sanitation Committee is responsible for carrying out in-home assessments and monitoring the status of the projects. In conjunction with our Public Health Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with healthcare, economic development and clean water projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.

Public Health Brigades at University of Münster

Public Health Brigades volunteers empower under resourced communities in the developing world to decrease life threatening diseases by providing public health education and improving home infrastructure. Global Brigades works to train community volunteers to promote health and hygiene, while student volunteers work side-by-side with the community to improve the overall infrastructure within the home through the construction of five projects: eco-stoves, latrines, showers, water storage units and concrete floors. Projects are chosen based on medical brigade patient records, along with observations in the community, which confirmed high levels of respiratory, Chagas and other preventable diseases caused by poor in-home infrastructure. Between brigades, the in-country team provides follow-up to ensure the maintenance and work to find funding that will complement community health goals and perpetuate future construction.
