Passionate About:

I believe that knowledge is power. Through activism we can spread knowledge to empower others. This truth that inspired me to create the SOAS Microfinance Brigade. Please support us if you too believe that honest effort for Self-Aid, unlike the blueprint of Foreign Aid makes THE DIFFERENCE. ~ Samantha Witte

About Us

Headquarters for Global Brigades in the United Kingdom.

Global Brigades UK was founded in 2009. GB UK volunteers have participated in a variety of Global Brigades programs in Honduras, Panama, and Ghana. However, with the recent expansion of GB to Ghana, UK volunteers have began to focus more of their brigades to Ghana, focusing on the the Medical, Microfinance, and Water Brigades programs.

In 2010, GB UK grew from 35 brigaders to 80 brigaders, then in 2011 grew to 242 brigaders and in 2012 442 brigaders travelled around the world to take part in brigades. GB UK hopes to double the number of brigaders in 2013. Below are the current universities with Global Brigades chapters.
