Dalhousie Global Brigades - Public Health Chapter

Global Public Health Brigades is an international movement of university students working to improve health conditions in the developing world.

A team of student volunteers depart on a week-long trip to work with a community in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua or Ghana. Through an evidence-based model, we work alongside local community members to build projects that tangibly improve lives in these developing countries. Volunteers work with local masons and families to build eco-stoves, latrines, concrete floors, showers, and/or water storage units. Global Brigades also supports communities with healthcare, economic development and clean water projects and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals.

This year our trip is to Panama! happening from April 28th to May 5th after final exams. Every student is welcome to join! To learn more, please visit www.globalbrigades.org.
