The EIA Bridge Program's mission is to empower today's volunteers to become tomorrow's global change-makers by building bridges with underserved communities. Every year, we invite you to join us as we celebrate what we accomplished together over the past year and build support for what we aspire to accomplish in the year to come.

Thanks to our generous supporters, 2022 was our biggest year yet! We empowered hundreds of volunteers from 21 university partners and three industry partners to help build 13 bridges in Bolivia, Eswatini, and West Virginia that are now connecting thousands of previously isolated people to essential resources. Check out the video below to get a feel for what that looked like in Jatun Pampa, Bolivia. The video was made by the student volunteers who worked on the project, from our chapters at the universities of Delaware, Georgia Tech, and Eastern Mennonite.

In 2023, we aspire to have an even greater impact. We're aiming to build 14 more bridges to serve thousands more people with the help of 22 university partners and six industry partners. We need your help to meet our fundraising goal before the end of the year, which will be enough to connect the first 700 of those currently isolated community members.

If you do the math, you will see that at our current capacity we can connect an isolated community member to essential resources for just $50. For just $50 you can help a child get to school, a pregnant mother reach the health clinic, or a hardworking parent sell their crops at the market. Can't hit $50? Give what you can and invite your friends to help you reach that $50 together! Every donation helps!
