On a Global Health Squad, you’ll have the chance to help build clean drinking water systems to households, work on the vision screening program and dental screening program with support of local dentists, and install hand washing stations in schools.

Global STEM Squads let students apply what they have learned inside the classroom by helping under-resourced communities obtain access to clean drinking water.
While working with a STEM Squad, you will design and build community water systems, conduct new and follow-up water assessments studies, survey land for water systems, and improve water flow and piping to improve access.
As a volunteer, you will also support in the construction and repair of a community water system, conduct water testing and analysis to improve quality, and describe the challenges and opportunities of the water access in the host community and country at large.
