What if a bridge could change everything?
In many rural communities, rivers and rough terrain cut people off from schools, healthcare, and jobs. Sometimes, a safe footbridge can shrink hours of travel into a short walk.
In this keynote, Bridges to Prosperity’s Eniola Mafe-Abaga will share his experiences building and managing bridge projects across the world, from Nicaragua to Rwanda. He’ll talk about how engineering connects communities and open exciting career paths for your students.
