Bridges to Prosperity is a nonprofit organization which seeks
to empower rural communities through footbridge building. It
began in 2001 and over the past seven years has completed bridges
in several different countries. In 2007, a team from the
University of Iowa called Continental Crossings completed a
footbridge in Peru. Thus, the university bridge building program
at B2P began. Please visit
B2P's website
and
Continental Crossings' website
for more information. ND SEED's main contact with
B2P is Avery Bang, Continental Crossings' team member and now board
member for Bridges to Prosperity. A special thanks to Bridges to Prosperity for letting ND SEED use photos from B2P's website on this website.
