"I was putting everything I had
into the project because I knew
why we were there."
RILEY CONLEY
GIS ASSOCIATE
MICHAEL BAKER INTERNATIONAL
tions manager for Bridges to Prosperity, industry partners such
as Michael Baker International are crucial to the organization's
work. The Denver-based nonprofit builds footbridges in
Rwanda, Haiti, Nicaragua, Panama, and Bolivia to improve
communities' access to critical resources such as healthcare,
education, and employment. A study led by economists from
Yale University and the University of Notre Dame found that
communities in Nicaragua experienced a 30 percent increase
in household income after receiving a new footbridge, a 75
percent increase in farm profits, and a 59
percent increase in women entering the
labor market.
"Our industry partners are how we are
able to involve volunteers," says Kennedy.
"We consider them collaborators. They
bring fresh energy, and almost every build
that we have, we walk away learning
something new. There is so much to be said
for a new perspective brought from our
industry partners."
DOING THE WORK
During the 2019 trip, Ross says that help from the locals was
essential to completing the Mojocoya Bridge on schedule. "We
would speak broken Spanish, and they would speak broken
English, but with a common understanding of what we were
trying to do, we found that we were able to communicate
and work alongside them very easily," he says. "They were
some incredibly hard workers that we could not have done the
project without."
The construction of the
suspension footbridge in
Nicaragua improved mobility
and access for nearly 2,000
residents. Before the bridge
was constructed, locals made
dangerous crossings or forfeited
their ability to reach school, work,
emergency health services, and
each other due to a flooding river.
