Engineering Brigades empowers volunteers with hands-on experience, materials, and support to deliver solutions that provide value while preserving local culture and conserving the environment.
Engineering Brigade volunteers will spend 7 days in Honduras assessing water sources and systems in rural communities with limited access to a sufficient quantity and quality of clean water. Volunteers receive a comprehensive introduction to water issues by seeing a community’s current water situation first hand, and meeting and discussing the issues with community members and leaders. With a holistic understanding of the community’s challenges and the Engineering Brigades’ solution, volunteers work with local engineers and technicians in assessment of water sources, mapping and surveying of communities, and design of future water projects. Volunteers meet with local governmental and non-profit institutions to see different approaches to water development projects or technologies.
