University of Toronto Public Health Brigade August 2016 Honduras
Public Health Brigades at University of Toronto
Brigade Information
Dates: August 24 - September 01, 2016
Country: Honduras
The University of Toronto is a chapter of Global Public Health Brigades, an international movement of university students working to improve health conditions in the developing world. Through an evidence-based holistic model, we work alongside local community members to build projects that tangibly improve lives in Honduras, Nicaragua, and Ghana. Volunteers work with local masons and families to build eco-stoves, latrines, concrete floors, showers, and/or water storage units. To ensure long-term sustainability and maintenance, the Public Health program team trains and empowers local community leaders in the formation of a Basic Sanitation Committee. The Basic Sanitation Committee is responsible for carrying out in-home assessments and monitoring the status of the projects. In conjunction with our Public Health Program, 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. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving into a relationship of impact monitoring.
