Water Brigades at UC Davis



  • About
    Water Brigades' mission is to empower communities to access sufficient clean water through infrastructural development, water treatment, community leader training, and education. UC Davis Water Brigade members assist in implementing new clean water systems in communities to prevent water related illnesses in communities with limited access to clean water. Volunteers work side-by-side with community members to construct all parts of the system, from digging trenches, installing pipes and faucets, and building dams and tanks. In addition, volunteers work together to educate the community on specified health and sanitation issues.

Volunteer Activity Description
Global Brigades offers 7-day Water Brigades throughout the year in Honduras. 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.
