Learn About Our Brigades
Water Access for the Rural Poor
In response to the global water crisis, Global Water Brigades sparked a movement of university volunteers to work alongside local communities and technicians to implement clean water systems in the developing world. Since 2007, we have laid hundreds of miles of pipes that have nourished more than 18,000 people in remote rural communities with a reliable source of purified water.
We help create sustainable health systems
Global Medical Brigades is an international movement of students and medical professionals working alongside local communities and staff to implement sustainable health systems. We work in under-resourced communities in Honduras, Panama, Guatemala, Ghana, Belize, and Greece who would otherwise have limited to no access to health care. Medical Brigades are 7 to 9-day trips that support our sustainable in-country medical clinics. We provide students the ability to observe and participate in medical care at our rural mobile clinics.
Healthy Home Infrastructure for Families
Public Health Brigades is 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.
Engineering Impact for the Rural Poor
Global Engineering Brigades (GEB) is an international movement of university students and professionals that partner with community leaders and local technicians to design and engineer clean water systems in the developing world. We focus our work in remote and under resourced communities in Honduras who struggle with either nonexistent or dysfunctional water systems. Since 2007, in partnership with our sister organization Global Water Brigades, we have built hundreds of miles of pipes that have provided more than 18,000 people with clean water.
A prescription for sustainable health
Global Dental Brigades is an international movement of students and healthcare professionals working alongside local communities and staff to implement sustainable health systems. We work in remote, rural, and under resourced communities in Honduras and Nicaragua, which would otherwise have limited to no access to health care.
