“Now it takes 30 minutes by motorcycle instead of 4 hours on foot.”
That’s what one new bridge meant for a mother in Uganda this year.

Her story, and dozens more from Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Zambia, are in our 2025 Annual Report, out now. Link in bio.

The food corridor does not begin at the highway.

Linda Bihire, Fika Rwanda’s Country Director, took part in the Infrastructure Roundtable on Accelerating Infrastructure Capital at the Africa Food Systems Forum in Kigali. Policymakers, investors, and technical experts from across the continent also sat at the table.

Linda’s message was straightforward: if a farmer is unable to reach the road, the storage facility, or the market, the corridor is not complete. The first mile is not extra; it is part of the corridor. That principle underlies all of our programs and is the one we will continue to pursue until all the first miles are connected.

Thank you, Linda, for carrying that work into the room. And thank you to AGRA and for including us at the table.

Today is World Humanitarian Day, which prompts us to ask: How do you show up for people in crisis? For Fika, it’s leveraging infrastructure to fight for universal access for people everywhere.

Bridges are one of the oldest technologies we have. In some places, they’re even older than the wheel. Every culture that’s ever needed to cross something has found a way, because refusing to be divided is a human instinct. And that instinct is the oldest form of humanitarian work there is.

Access is an ancient invention, but somehow, it’s not yet a global standard. Humans started this work long ago, and we won’t stop until everyone can get to where they want to go, safely.

Kinda chic. Also kind of the whole point.

Our goal has always been to close the rural access gap, but along the way, we hit a scaling bottleneck that no existing tool could solve.

What followed was six years of building, testing, funding, and learning. Case at DUKE spent months documenting the decisions behind that journey, from build vs. buy to governance to what mission-aligned technical talent actually looks like in practice.

If you’re interested in learning more about the intersection of AI and social impact, this is worth a read.

Rural communities have long been invisible in global datasets. And you can’t build infrastructure for communities that don’t exist on a map.

That’s the data equity problem at the heart of our AI work and the reason we built Fika Digital from the ground up rather than relying on tools that were never designed with rural populations in mind.

Case at Duke documented our journey in their Managing AI for Impact series.

The impact of rural infrastructure has been underestimated for too long, and this referee has seen enough. 🟥

Fika Collect is now live across all provinces in Rwanda! 🇷🇼
The platform rollout sparked a nationwide conversation about how better data can drive better infrastructure decisions for rural communities.

Our team worked alongside district engineers, planners, and partners at Rwanda Ministry of Infrastructure, Ministry of Local Government, Rwanda, LODA, RTDA, Rwanda Polytechnic, and RMF to lay the foundation for how Rwanda will identify, prioritize, and maintain trail bridge infrastructure going forward. Grateful to every partner and team member who made this possible.
