Bridges to Prosperity

We are thrilled to strengthen our partnership with DP World as they officially become one of our Global Cable Providers! Together, we’ve connected over 55,000 people to life-changing opportunities through the power of bridges. With DP World’s support, we’ll continue to build the critical infrastructure needed to provide access to healthcare, education, and employment in rural communities worldwide. Thank you for sharing our commitment to sustainable development and ensuring no communities are left behind. This is what progress looks like!

We recently participated in the AfDB Transport Forum in Abidjan, alongside government officials from across the continent, representatives from AfDB, DFIs, the African Union, and the private sector. Erica Brandt, who represented B2P, co-presented with George Makajuma from AfDB, highlighting our partnership in Uganda as well as the cost-effectiveness and impact of investing in networked connectivity for rural populations. B2P was also mentioned in a parallel session on innovative financing mechanisms for transport projects. This conference presented an excellent opportunity to connect with leaders in the transport sector, with many exciting follow-ups ahead. B2P appreciates AfDB leadership for our inclusion in the Forum.

Due to poor infrastructure, over 1 billion people in rural communities lack access to markets, healthcare, and education. At UNGA and Climate Week, Alissa Davis and Eniola Mafe-Abaga will meet with partners and leaders to advance the conversation on how climate-resilient infrastructure drives sustainable development and supports global equity. Innovative infrastructure can bridge the gap in rural access, ensuring that no one is left behind in the pursuit of sustainable development. 💡 Infrastructure is the foundation for achieving the SDGs! #UNGA2024 #SDG9 #RuralDevelopment #GlobalPartnerships #ClimateWeek #UNGA79 #OurCommonFuture 🙌 Mulago, Rippleworks, Autodesk Foundation, Cisco, United Nations, The ELMA Philanthropies, International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI).

From goats to sheep to cows—our bridges handle all kinds of moo-ving traffic! #CowCommute

We're proud to announce the successful completion of another bridge in Rebero, Rwanda! Thanks to the unwavering dedication of our incredible volunteers and the invaluable support of our partners (Balfour Beatty plc UK - Mott MacDonald UK), a new 58-meter connection now links Rebero to many essential resources and services. This marks a significant milestone, not just for us but for the entire community. "I cannot describe the feeling of walking on it for the first time holding hands with the local kids. Their smiles and happiness meant the world to me and the team!" Giulio Riccardi - Mott MacDonald Team member

No ‘ewe-turns’ here—just straight across the bridge to a brighter future! 🐑 ➡ #SheepCommute

Greetings from the thousand hills of Rwanda! Last month's staff retreat in Rubavu was remarkable, bringing our team together for strategic planning and professional development. From team-building exercises to deep dives into our code of conduct, safety protocols, and B2P strategy, the retreat was a decisive moment of reflection and growth. A special shoutout to our CEO, Nivi, for the insightful overview of our organization’s perspectives, which added a valuable layer to our discussions. We feel reenergized and aligned as we continue building a more connected world.

There's nothing quite like the joy of seeing a community's smiles when they see their photos! Those moments of pride, happiness, and connection captured forever are a beautiful reminder of the impact we’re making together. Each smile tells a story of hope, resilience, and the bright future ahead. Read more about this incredible experience on our blog! https://lnkd.in/g7wQ9w2P 📸: Oscar Ntege
