Bridges to Prosperity USA     

Orange Filler

Nicaragua

Nicaragua is one of our newest countries. The following bridge project is located in a small, rural community just outside the town of Matiguas. Though small, it is a bustling community with a market and an elementary school. The majority of the villagers cross the river each day to find work, run errands in town, carry and sell their products and fresh milk, reach their fields, or take a sick relative to the hospital. The trip is always risky but, when the waters are high, it can be dangerous.
