The First Thai–Lao Friendship Bridge (Thai:สะพานมิตรภาพ ไทย-ลาว แห่งที่ 1, pronounced [sàpʰaːn míttràpʰâːp tʰaj laːw hɛ̀ŋ tʰîː nɯ̀ŋ]; Lao:ຂົວມິດຕະພາບ ລາວ-ໄທ ແຫ່ງທຳອິດ, [kʰǔə mittapʰâːp láːw tʰaj hɛŋ tʰám ǐt]) is a bridge over the Mekong, connecting Nong Khai province and the city of Nong Khai in Thailand with Vientiane Prefecture in Laos; the city of Vientiane is approximately 20km (12mi) from the bridge. With a length of 1,170 meters (0.73mi), the bridge has two 3.5m (11ft 6in)-wide road lanes, two 1.5m (4ft 11in)-wide footpaths and a single 1,000mm (3ft33⁄8in) gauge railway line in the middle, straddling the narrow central reservation.
The bridge spans the Indus river, and was constructed next to a bridge built between 1966 and 1978. The bridge was given its Chinese name in 2004 to honour the Chinese and Pakistani workers killed in the construction of the Karakoram Highway.
According to its statement, Friendship Bridge spent over $7,800,000 in loans to women and more than 21,000 scholarships for their children in Vietnam from 1994 to 2000 and in rural Guatemala since 1998.
The programs in Vietnam include:
Nursing Education - volunteers provide curriculum consultation, teaching in post-baccalaureate nursing courses, and supporting the masters program in nursing.
