Bridges to Prosperity
Bridges to Prosperity is a United States-based nonprofit organization that builds footbridges and trains local people in developing countries to build pedestrian bridges. It was established by Kenneth Frantz in 2001, after seeing a photo in National Geographic Magazine of a broken bridge over the Blue Nile River in Ethiopia, with ten men on either side of the broken span pulling themselves across the chasm by rope.〔"Interview, Frantz, 10-2011; re-interviewed by independent team on 12-1-11 to comply with Wikipedia outside source recommendations"〕 Bridges to Prosperity is now based in the Denver, Colorado, area.
Footbridges are simple and inexpensive enough for rural communities to build with only modest outside help, and they provide major benefits such as improved safety and access to markets, schools and medical care.
Typically, the training is done through Community Bridge Building programs in which Bridges to Prosperity trains in-country partner organizations or government agencies in both engineering and organizational techniques. Since its founding in March 2001, Bridges to Prosperity or their technology has built over 100 footbridges,〔http://www.bridgestoprosperity.org/ note: bridges are numbered on website〕 and expanded to 14 countries across Southeast Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. Bridges to Prosperity is supported by and partners with a number of other organizations such as Rotary International.〔(Partners with Bridges to Prosperity )〕
== Mission ==
Bridges to Prosperity provides isolated communities with access to essential health care, education and economic opportunities by building footbridges over impassable rivers.
