Story
I will be volunteering in Honduras in September with Global Brigades to build community-wide access to water and a basic health station.
During this 7-day trip I will help build this water system which is fundamental in preventing diseases related to the use of dirty water. We will be providing clean water to hundreds of Hondurans. We tend to take for granted the water we use everyday but these people don't have any direct access to it even if it is essential!
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.
The money raised will be used to pay the flights (600£) plus the cost of the volunteering week (600£).
Je vais participer à un voyage de volontariat au Honduras avec l'organisation Global Brigades pour construire des infrastructures permettant l'accès à l'eau à une communauté rurale.
Pendant ce voyage de 7 jours, je vais aider à construire un système d'eau et une station sanitaire contenant des douches, des toilettes... Une centaine d'Honduriens auront ainsi l'accès à de l'eau propre. Ce que nous considérons comme étant basique ne l'est pas pour tout le monde!
