Global Brigades offers Public Health TeleBrigades, a virtual international volunteer program for people who are passionate about WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene). On Public Health TeleBrigades, volunteers empower rural communities to prevent common disease and improve health outcomes in rural Honduran communities. Participants will work with GB partner community’s Basic Sanitation Committee (BSC) through the UNDP’s Healthy Schools and Households program, to identify health challenges, assess market demand for in-home infrastructure solutions, and ultimately build a Community Health Action Plan. The program does not stop at an Action Plan, the BSC committee implements the plan and shares progress with the volunteers after 6-8weeks of implementation.
