Water Brigades at University of Illinois at Chicago

• About
  Water Brigades volunteers implement water systems to prevent communicable illnesses in communities through 7 day Water Brigades in Honduras. Student volunteers can either join an existing Water Brigades chapter on their campus or create their own chapter and recruit other volunteers. Our in-country team members work with water technicians and community leaders to design large scale water systems for the entire community. Once the water system is designed, volunteers work side-by-side with community members to implement the water system and provide education and training to proliferate knowledge about proper water use, and proper sanitation and hygiene practices.
