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%.

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

PCL Construction 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.

Thank you for your support.
