Lasting Impact

Building Bridges: Connect communities with access to healthcare, education and markets

The rains in the Masai Mara cause fast-flowing rivers, often cutting off communities from schools, clinics, markets and more. In the rainy season, children would miss school because the water levels were too dangerous to cross, setting them back in their education. In partnership with Bridging the Gap Africa, Great Plains is building safe and durable bridges, creating a reliable access point across the rivers. The impact of our Building Bridges initiative has been more significant than we imagined, with communities now having year-round access to schools, healthcare, and markets.
