Going to school has meant crossing rivers with strong currents, waiting for the water level to go down, or simply not going. These are the 'zarzo' bridges, which advance little by little across unforgiving terrain. But this did not start with the bridge. For years, the road has meant walking long distances, making a path through the mountains, and crossing rivers that were more of a constant risk for hundreds of families than a thoroughfare. Today, that story is beginning to change. It's about crossing without fear, no longer depending on the weather, and knowing that this time, something is finally happening in the region. It started by clearing the way. In Sardina, for example, a path was cleared in weeks to bring in equipment and begin building a 50-meter zarzo bridge over the Santiago River, a project that could completely change the students' routine. Because here, the problem was never small. In many communities in the region, getting from one point to another has never been easy. In places like Cascabel (Mironó) and Sardina (Nole Duima), there is now activity where there was none before: people working, materials being brought in, and structures beginning to rise. In several sectors, access simply did not exist. Where there was no access, there are now roads. Where there was fear, there is now structure. In winter, the story repeats itself: isolation, danger, and zero options. Now the outlook is different. And this translates into something simple, but crucial: moving without risking your life. The reach is not minor. Deputies take 'With a firm step' to the court. April 10, 2026 Registration opens for fuel subsidy for transporters.

More than 17,000 students in regions like Kodri, Ñokribo, and Nedrini are part of this first phase, which is already being implemented in the field.
