The Saga Bridge Project

Donation protected
The Saga Bridge Project Este Rural Development Inc. is a nonprofit organization committed to the needs of the rural community in South Gondar, Ethiopia. Currently, we are raising funds to build a footbridge  over the Saga river which is located a two-hours walking distance from Este city.
 
Building a footbridge over Saga river is critical for this community because many people and cattle die each year trying to cross this river. The river is known as the silent killer by the local community. The Saga river becomes full during the rainy season. When the river is overflowing, it appears passable due to the shape of the landscape but causes large number of both people and cattle death each year.
 
The Saga bridge project benefits over five thousand people in the Azashabato and the nearby communities. It would save the lives of many farmers and mothers who loses their lives or their loved ones while attempting to walk across the river on foot.  Also, a pregnant woman or a sick person does not have to walk additional two hours to go across the nearest bridge to go to the nearest health center. In addition, children will have access to cross the river to go to school all year round.
 
Este Rural Development Inc. organizes the local community to work together towards building the necessary bridge. Our goal is to raise $59,000 dollars for a pedestrian bridge. Please consider helping Este rural development Inc. and together we can bridge the gap. Any amount of donation helps. Also, please do not forget to share this mission with your friends and family on social media.

Thank you in the name of Este rural community.
