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.

Who needs a bridge?

Yabus is divided in half by a river. Here is what each side has to offer:
The Northside has the marketplace, clinic, airstrip, primary school and roads to the northern part of Sudan. It is home to the Bertah, Mabaan, and Uduk tribes.

The Southside has the secondary school, farmland, and roads to the southern part of the country. It is home to the Coma and Ganza tribes.
Unifying these two sides of the river will benefit 60,000 people and further the growth of one of the least developed places on earth.
