| | The New Namawukulu Footbridge in Uganda-Africa
By Tobia Zordan, Chair of the IABSE FoundationIABSE Foundation: The new suspended footbridge spans the Ngame river on a total length of 70m. With a constant width of 100cm in cross-section, it connects the two sides of the village during the rainy season. A team of 9 volunteers, composed by professional engineers affiliated to IABSE was sent to Namawukulu to help in the construction of the bridge: 4 engineers supported by the IABSE Foundation (coming from the following partner Engineering Companies: Bolina Ingegneria from Venice-Italy, Bridgewiz from Ankara-Turkey and Schimetta Consult from Vienna-Austria) and 5 engineers from Ramboll UK. At the end of this fantastic experience, to acknowledge a unique human, social and professional experience, a special thank is addressed to Bridges to Prosperity and to all the Donors that made all of this possible supporting the activities of the IABSE Foundation enthusiastically.
