Nearly a billion people in rural communities throughout the world lack transportation access to critical destinations like health centers, schools, markets, and towns with employment opportunities. Bridges to Prosperity (B2P) works with isolated communities to build trail bridges over impassable rivers, and create lasting connections to essential services and opportunities. To date, B2P has built more than 340 bridges that serve 1.1 million people in 20 countries. Its projects have been demonstrated to create a pivotal change in rural communities, with farm profits increasing by 75% and wage labor increasing by 36% following bridge construction. B2P currently operates programs in Rwanda and Uganda.
This is my subsmission for Viz For Social Good (VFSG) project in collaboration with B2P. It's about the rural urban nexus brief and highlights the results of an internal study on trail bridge population catchment in Rwanda, conducted on six bridges.
The visualization consists of 4 sections, one per page. The first page introduces the study, the second one explores the surveyed population in terms of socio-demographic characteristics, the third one focuses on the connections made possible by each bridge, and finally the fourth and last page summarizes the main purposes for which people use the bridges.
