Join us in Northern Arizona University’s Annual Giving Day! This is a one day event tomorrow – March 29th from 12:01am – 11:59pm. The donation link on our site will open tomorrow (where the count down is at the top of the website). All gifts are tax deductible!

NAU Global Brigades Club is an international movement of university students working to improve health conditions in the developing world. Through an evidence-based model, we work alongside local community members to build projects that tangibly improve lives in Honduras. Students and volunteers work with local masons and families to build eco-stoves, latrines, concrete floors, showers, and water storage units. To ensure long-term sustainability and maintenance, the Community Development and 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. NAU 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 with the end goal of sustainability.

This summer (July 2023), students will return to El Apintal de Linaca, Honduras to build 2 hygiene stations, 1 eco stove, drill a well to provide families access to water, build a school library and a community garden made of recycled materials. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to support these efforts.

Want some NAU socks? The first 1000 people to donate $60 or more to any cause on NAU Giving Day will receive a pair of limited-edition NAU socks!

Past projects:
Summer 2022 - built two hygiene stations, 1 eco stove, community clean up, workshops on public health topics, distributed hygiene packs (toothbrush, toothpaste, and soap) and completed community survey identifying needs within the community.
Winter 2022 - provided food bags for 30 families with high need in El Apintal, Honduras to work towards closing the gap on food insecurity.

Even a $5 donation will go a long way. If the NAU Global Brigades Club is in the top 3 for student club by donor (not by dollar amount), we will be awarded an extra $1000-$2000! March 29th is the day –https://givingday.foundationnau.org/amb/GlobalBrigades23. Please reach out with any questions!

We would like to sincerely thank our donors for supporting our raffle fundraiser last semester. Thanks to your donations, we were able to raise $1,300 to supply food baskets to 30 families in need in the community of El Apintal de Linaca in Honduras. We recently received photos and videos of the community receiving these donations, and we would like to share them with you. If you would like to continue to support us, this semester we are working with the community to fundraise $5000 to build a community well. Use the link below to donate! Thank you again for your generosity and support!

We are super excited to announce that our fall fundraiser raised $631! Thank you so much to everyone who participated and supported this fundraiser! This money will go toward providing food baskets to 30 families in El Apintal, Honduras, who desperately need it. However, we could still use your help to raise enough to provide these food baskets to 30 families in the community! If you are able, we would really appreciate your donations on our chapter page (link below). Help us support these families and give them the gift of food this holiday season!
