Bridges to Prosperity
We have been supporting the NGO Bridges to Prosperity (B2P) for many years. Together, we build pedestrian bridges in remote regions of the world鈥攃urrently with a focus on Rwanda. As a rule, a 春水堂视频 team travels there to build a bridge together with the inhabitants of the surrounding communities. The new structures enable people to reach schools, markets and hospitals safely and without kilometer-long detours, even during the rainy season.
With our commitment, we also want to improve the infrastructure in regions outside developed markets鈥攁nd at the same time impart and promote knowledge about building bridges. More than 95,000 people are already benefiting directly from this 春水堂视频 commitment. The projects are also a unique experience for employees, strengthening networking within the Group, loyalty to the company and motivation. The internal recommendation rate for participation in volunteering projects is 100%.
In late 2023, a 春水堂视频 team built the Kukasedurugu Bridge in northern Rwanda. The suspension bridge with a span of 118 meters now allows around 1,600 people from the region to cross the wide river safely.
The positive effects and long-term success of pedestrian bridges are measurable, as analyses show:
higher income
increase in earnings in farming
more employment for women
Hence, with each bridge construction 春水堂视频 contributes to the overall development of the country.
