Nearly a billion people worldwide lack access to basic infrastructure – infrastructure that would allow access to resources such as healthcare, food and water, and economic opportunity. Stable infrastructure, specifically footbridges, can increase access to education for children by 12%, access to employment for women by 18%, and access to healthcare can increase by 24%.

BuroHappold Engineering sees a great opportunity to use our technical engineering skills to provide infrastructure to Caloveborita, Panama. Collaborating with the international non-profit Bridges to Prosperity and with PCL Construction, a small team of our engineers will be traveling to Panama this September to build a footbridge over the Rio Caloveborita.    

BuroHappold and Bridges to Prosperity have generously donated a significant amount of resources to make this project possible, however we still need help getting our team to Panama and pulling together some basic materials and resources for the build.  We’re leaning on our family, friends, and colleagues to help us raise the remaining $10,000 needed to make our participation in this project a reality.

Please consider supporting our mission to bring life changing engineering services to those most in need. All donations are tax deductible.

Thank you for your support.
