KIDS ROAD SAFETY PANEL

by providence klugan from ghana

Kids Road Safety Panel aimed to increase drivers’ awareness of road traffic risks around schools and children's knowledge of road safety by empowering them to speak up about road safety issues in their communities. Students of two high-risks schools were trained and drivers were brought to them for a special, fun and insightful road safety education. 

ABOUT THE PROJECT LEAD

Providence is an accountant for the international NGO Amend Road Safety. "I'm saddened at the rate at which people are dying on our roads (especially the youth) and seem not to understand and grasp the importance of road safety and its impact on our daily lives. Things need to change now, or we'll end up with a terrible future!"
