Bridges to Prosperity (B2P)
More than a billion people live in villages that can only be reached on foot. An uncrossable river or deep gorge can cut them off from healthcare, education, and livelihoods.

How It Works
The Bridges to Prosperity (B2P) approach gets the right bridge built in the right place in the right way. They created standardized bridge designs, and sophisticated AI mapping and planning tools to determine highest-impact locations. They ensure proper construction and created innovative ways to get bridges financed.
The Dream
Governments in Africa pay for and build trailbridges where they're needed most.
Why We're In
B2P's trailbridges are an infrastructure bargain—a $100K bridge boosts household income by 30%. B2P currently connects 1.5M+ new rural people annually, but the kind of scale they're looking for will come when governments build and pay for trailbridges with B2P technical support. They've made impressive progress toward this end, with Ethiopia, Uganda, and Zambia are already running their own programs and footing an increasing share of the bill.
