Brute Labs

Brute Labs is a volunteer organization based in Silicon Valley. The volunteer organization is composed of Bay Area high tech professionals and supports a broad spectrum of causes, ranging from physical fitness in low income schools to clean water wells for rural communities in Africa. Its name is derived from the philosophy of doing whatever it takes to get something done (Brute) and constant rapid prototyping to learn from mistakes (Labs).
Overview
Brute Labs was started in 2006 by Josh To. In June 2008 Brute Labs partnered with Pioneers-Africa and local village governments in Ghana to build wells in rural communities that would provide access to clean drinking water. The Well Done project won 2nd place in the American Institute of Graphic Arts San Francisco Cause/Effect Health and Development award in July 2009.<ref name="cause-affect1"/>
