Global Brigades is the world's largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. It is made up of international nonprofit affiliates that mobilize student volunteers and professionals to empower communities in developing countries with programs that improve quality of life while respecting local culture.

Since 2005, more than 4, 000 volunteers from 110 university chapters in the U.S., Canada, U.K. and Ireland, traveled to provide health and economic development solutions to more than 100, 000 beneficiaries through teams in Panama and Honduras. Read about our history and methodology...

Global Brigades offers donors and grant makers a unique opportunity to make a tangible difference in some of the world's most in-need communities without any additional overhead costs. We will match donors with volunteers already traveling to these communities to implement health and development solutions that are staffed year-round with our directors to monitor the progress of the projects. Since our volunteer model has a built in operational margin, any donations or grants given to our international nonprofit can go straight into the community project. For more information on how to leverage our wide-spread network of university and professional volunteers to perpetuate your health and development objectives, please contact fundraising@globalbrigades.org. Global Brigades is a registered charitable organization in the United States and United Kingdom and your donations may be tax deductable.

Global Brigades Every dollar goes toward the overall sustainability of our projects in Honduras and Panama.

Community Health Workers Every dollar goes to training materials and medicines for health workers to deliver primary health services in communities without doctors. For every $100 per month, we can pay and train another health worker.

Microfinance Assistance Every dollar goes to help back loans in community banks so that families have access to capital to advance income or farming related initiatives. An average family only earns $2 a day.

Clean Water Projects Every dollar goes to developing water access and purification systems in villages where 90% of the population suffer from water born illnesses. A full scale project improving the water for more than 100 families can cost between $5, 000 and $10, 000.

Public Health Infrastructure Every dollar goes to materials for building latrines, concrete floors and water storage units directly in the homes of community members with chronic diseases related to lack of infrastructure. One latrine costs $120 to build.

Community Development Every dollar goes to our Architecture Brigades program, who design and build projects hand-in-hand with community members who have identified structural needs (i.e. schools, community center, housing, etc..)
