Balancing act: Children facing danger every day as they use the dilapidated bridge in Kg Melangkap, Kota Belud.

KOTA KINABALU: A local non-‑governmental organisation, Hope Malaysia, is seeking partners to urgently help villagers rebuild a dilapidated 200-metre hanging bridge and provide clean water to villagers of Kampung Melangkap Tiong in Kota Belud district, about 90km from here.

Hope Malaysia spokesman Aaron Bosuang said that the children in the village have been risking their safety using the unsafe hanging bridge to get to their school, SK Melangkap, while the 700 villagers did not have proper water supply.
