Bridge connecting locals and people to the nearest city of Barpeta Road.
Bridges provide connections for communities to access the services they need safely and conveniently. Unfortunately, in developing countries, bridges and other infrastructure are often in poor condition or nonexistent.
The creation of new bridge crossings could connect the world’s rural and underserved communities in developing countries with services they need. Those may include safe access to schools, healthcare and new employment opportunities.
“On a household level, the effect of a bridge is considerable. On a community level, it is enormous.”
One organization at the forefront of building new bridges in developing communities is Bridges to Prosperity (B2P).
“On a household level, the effect of a bridge is considerable,” says Alissa Smith, Director of Engagement for B2P. “On a community level, it is enormous.”
That statement has a basis in scientific research. In 2013, Bridges to Prosperity and economists at the University of Notre Dame partnered to examine the potential of footbridges to create economic returns. Their three-year randomized, controlled trial in rural Nicaragua found that a footbridge resulted in a 30 percent increase in household income and a 56 percent increase in agricultural yields of staple corn crops. The study also found that bridges increased investments back into the community, represented by a 69 percent increase in spending on agricultural goods like fertilizers and pesticides.
