Hopefully you have been able to follow our progress over the past year and if not, take a few minutes to look through the pictures and re-live the process. I would like to say a special thank you to those who have given financially. Yabus has already changed as EVERY day people bring their produce to market, children go to school, and the clinic sees patients from both sides of the river because of this bridge. Thank you.

Flooding of the River


The main problem the people of Yabus face is the flooding of the river which happens during the rain-drenched months of August through December. You can see here in these two pictures the changes the river undergoes during the year. The photo above was taken in December when the river is receeding and crossable by our vehicle. The photo below was taken in September and shows the river at flood stage and totally uncrossable.
