Mekong Plus invests usually in people rather than in brick and mortar! But the villagers insisted and their demand was urgent: they offered to cover 2 / 3-3 / 4 of the costs!
Looking back, the villagers were right! Mekong Plus has helped build 255 bridges and 165 km of concrete paths.
Typically the Mekong Plus contribution to a small bridge is 912$ and the support for 1m of road is 8$. Once constructed we observe 500-1000 motorcycles use them every day. Indeed a good investment for the village!
