NAUGLOBALBRIGADES

The NAU Global Brigades Club will be going to Honduras in July 2023 to realize projects identified in a Virtual Community Development course offered during the first half of the Spring 2023 semester. Through conversations and surveys completed with the community of El Apintal in Honduras, 4 major project were identified.

1. Digging a well in the community that will allow access to water to people in the community who currently carry water from the river to their homes.

2. Build a library at the Elementary School for grades Kindergarten through 6th in one of the empty classrooms. Currently there are 70 students at the school who are sharing 1-2 books per grade. There are not enough resources to support reading growth in the community.

3. Building of two hygiene stations (bathrooms) for two community members with high need. Providing a space to allow for proper sanitation will help to improve the overall health of the community. Our goal is to build 2-5 hygiene stations (or more!) each summer.

4. Build raised beds to help provide alternatives to trash, and help with flooding and dry season for crops.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 to support these projects.
