More than 250 million people lack safe access to healthcare, education, and employment due to an impassable river. Bridges to Prosperity (B2P) partners with local governments, global stakeholders, and communities to construct trailbridges to connect people with the resources they need.

Bridges to Prosperity uses AutoCAD to design cost-efficient, long-lasting footbridges that connect residents to education, healthcare, and economic opportunity. To date, B2P has built 500+ bridges that serve more than 1 million people globally.
Bridges to Prosperity has collaborated with Autodesk pro bono consultants to expand remote technical assessments and virtual site visits, strengthening B2P’s ability to connect with stakeholders, from donors to volunteers, to scale bridge builds.
Since joining the Autodesk Foundation’s Health & Resilience portfolio in 2020, Bridges to Prosperity has utilized the full spectrum of in-kind support, including Autodesk software, technical training, and pro bono consultants to advance its mission.
