A bridge is something most of us take for granted, but nearly 1 billion people around the world don’t have safe access to critical resources. Bridges to Prosperity (B2P) constructs pedestrian bridges in rural communities around the world. Their mission is to safely connect people with healthcare, education, and economic opportunities by building bridges that connect communities.
Our Next Bridge Building Mission | February 2025
In the heart of Rwanda’s Nyamasheke District, the Karundura River has long divided communities, creating a barrier between people and opportunity. The proposed Bizenga Trail Bridge, a 93-meter hybrid suspension bridge, will soon change this reality for over 2,900 residents across Bizenga, Kagarama, Gakomeye, and Gatare communities.
The Karundura River has been synonymous with missed opportunities and dangerous crossings for generations. During the rainy season, its swollen waters become a formidable obstacle, forcing impossible choices upon locals. Parents keep their children home from school, disrupting their education. Families lose access to essential healthcare at the local health center. Businesses suffer as market access becomes impossible. Communities remain isolated until flood waters recede.
In February 2025, team members from Alberici and Flintco will embark on a two-week journey to construct this life-changing bridge alongside local members of the region, ensuring that no resident must choose between their safety and their livelihood.

Our Previous Builds
Matovu Trail Bridge | 2024
The completion of the Matovu (ma-toe-voo)Trail Bridge, a 103-meter hybrid suspension bridge will dramatically improve the lives of a community of 5,538 people! This year a team of Alberici and Flintco employees from across North America are going to the Muhanga (ma-hung-ga) District in Southern Rwanda to complete the Matovu Trail Bridge.
Mucyabahinja Suspension Bridge | 2022
In 2022, a team of Flintco volunteers helped complete the 86-meter Mucyabahinja (Moo-cha-bah-heen-ya) Suspension Bridge in the East-Central African Village of Giseke. Before the bridge was built, an average of 10 people were dying each year trying to cross the river to go to school or seek healthcare.
B2P: A Story of Hope from One Rwandan Village
“Your bridge is looking good today!” said Marielle Rodriguez, Industry Coordinator with B2P, in a follow-up email to Flintco with a video from the village six months after the bridge was completed in 2022.
“And the reason we know that is because we decided to go back and ask the community how their life has changed, what is different now, what services they can reach, and how they feel.”
