Sustainable change takes a holistic approach—that’s why Global Brigades chapters work together to empower communities from every angle.

Business Brigades provide financial training and consulting to help small businesses grow.

Legal Brigades secure land titles, business contracts, and legal protections for long-term stability.

Together with Medical, Dental, Water, Engineering, and Public Health Brigades, they create lasting independence —a system that keeps going, long after we leave.

Access to healthcare shouldn’t depend on where you live. In many rural communities, limited medical services mean that treatable conditions can become serious. But through Global Medical & Dental Brigades, volunteers are helping GB bridge this gap! Swipe to learn a bit more about the chapters supporting the ‘Sustainable health systems’ section of GB’s Holistic Model. 🏥🦷

02/19/2025

As Global Brigades grew from a strictly medical relief focus into the Holistic Model we use today, our engineering, water, and public health projects have been major drivers for sustainable solutions. For today’s post we wanted to highlight the importance of these 3 chapters that together make the ‘Water & Sanitation Infrastructure’ section of GB’s Holistic Model! 💧🛁🛠️

🌎Stay tuned for the remaining chapters highlight coming tomorrow!🌎
