Today is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, and we’re reminded that millions of children in rural areas are still waiting for opportunities to reach their full potential. We believe there is no future without connecting the future generation. That’s why we’re proud to introduce The Connector, our new short film that shows how sustainable infrastructure helps connect children to a world of possibilities. 📽 Stay tuned—the full film is coming soon! #BuildTheirFuture #TheConnector #SustainableInfrastructure

About us
Bridges to Prosperity envisions a world where poverty caused by rural isolation no longer exists. Rural isolation is a root cause of poverty, and we believe that connection is the foundation to opportunity. We work with local communities, partners, governments, private sector, and institutions to build trail bridges that connect residents to education, healthcare, and economic opportunity. With a sophisticated data collection and evaluation program, we can prove that the value and impact of our work is sustained long after the opening celebration.

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.
Had a great experience presenting at the African Development Bank Group Transport Forum in Abidjan last week alongside my colleague George Makajuma from AfDB. Our presentation focused on how impactful, cost-effective, and sustainable it can be to invest in rural transport networks. We showcased innovations in the sector, as well as the successful partnership between Bridges to Prosperity and AfDB in Uganda which implemented low-cost, high-impact interventions to enhance connectivity in the areas surrounding a regional corridor road project. Thanks to the African Development Bank Group for shedding light on this crucial topic! #atf2024
