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. -Eli Fader

Filling the Northside with Stones and Sand
Here are series of photos showing the progress of the northside tier. We capped it with a thin layer of cement.
Yabus, Sudan and its surrounding area is home to five tribes and 60,000 people. Divided by a river that is impassable for up to six months every year, this bridge will unite the town so that both sides will enjoy access to the clinic, market, and schools all year long.
Technical Specs of the Yabus Bridge
Span: 74 Meters Width: 1.06 Meters Foundation: Concrete Bricks, Stone and Reinforced Concrete Cables: 30mm Galvanized Steel Wire Rope Deck: 4x4 Wood Girders with 2x Wood Decking
