Water Brigades at University of New Brunswick

  • About
    Global Water Brigades (GWB) designs and implements water systems to prevent communicable illnesses in communities with limited access to clean water. In-country team members work with water experts and community leaders to design large scale water systems for the entire community. Once the water system is blueprinted, volunteers work side-by-side with community members to implement and provide the education for maintenance through the creation of “community water counsels.” Between brigades our in-country team ensures that the water councils are functioning and have the necessary funding to perpetuate the longevity of the systems created.

Recent Initiative

University of New Brunswick Water Brigade April 2017 Honduras


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.
