Bridge Le Pont
Our Mission
At Bridge Le Pont our mission is simple: to improve the health and well-being of individuals and communities in Africa by delivering vital medical supplies directly to those who need them the most. But we can't do this alone. We need your help to make our mission a reality. Your donation, no matter how big or small, will directly impact the lives of individuals in West Africa and beyond.
What We Do
Having witnessed firsthand the healthcare disparities and lack of access to quality medical resources during our visits to Mali, we are deeply committed to making a difference in Africa. At Bridge Le Pont, we supply essential medical goods, from wheelchairs to toothbrushes, to build healthier communities in Africa and improve individuals quality of life.
Individuals We've Helped
In 2023 we delivered our first wheelchair donations to Mali.
A wheelchair donation can make a profound difference in the lives of individuals with mobility impairments by enhancing their mobility, health, independence, and overall well-being.
If interested in donating a wheelchair contact us at info@bridgelepont.org. Together, we can bring hope and healing to those who need it most.
DonatIOns
We collect large amounts of supplies at a time, pack them together, and send them in a large container that is transported to Africa on a ship. It takes about two months for the container to reach the country where it's needed. Then, we make sure the supplies get through customs and are ready to be handed out. After that, the supplies are delivered to families in need. All expenses related to shipping the items to the destination country and distributing them to impoverished children, women, and families are covered by us.
