Passionate About:

I'm passionate about giving back to others what we often take forgranted in our daily lives. I am fortunate to have loving friends & family, and access to education, electricity, food, health care, shelter, & water. These are my bare essentials and things that I don't think about too much.

Realizing that there are families and children in Honduras who have access to only ~3 gallons of clean water per day, per family, has made me think more about what I take forgranted and what I can do to help. This is what has brought me to Global Water Brigades and a new passion. Now I am also passionate about spreading awareness of the scarcity of clean water in Honduras and raising funds for the less fortunate families there. During my spring break I look forward to physically contributing to this cause to implement clean water and sanitation in Honduras, and would greatly appreciate your support.

About Us

New Brunswick (NJ, USA) Area is a chapter of Global Water Brigades, an international movement of university students working alongside local communities and technicians to implement clean water systems in the developing world. Water systems are designed, planned, and budgeted with partner communities and local leaders are identified by the community to serve as the community’s Water Council, which collects monthly water fees from households to operate and maintain the constructed water system. It then takes several months of construction by volunteers, staff and community members to complete and can include several large scale components, such as dams and storage tanks in order to pipe clean water to individual homes. nnIn conjunction with our Water Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with healthcare, economic development and sanitation projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.
