Parents and Boda Boda Riders: Through targeted awareness campaigns, 70% of parents and boda boda riders will become aware of the legal requirements for supervised child transport and understand the risks associated with non-compliance.

Development of a Road Safety Culture within Schools Teachers will integrate road safety topics into the curriculum, fostering a culture of safety from a young age and encouraging students to adopt safe habits in and around school zones.

Improved Community Awareness and Reporting Increased engagement between the community and local authorities, including improved channels for reporting unsafe road practices around schools.

Incident One

A boda boda rider fell while carrying two children under the age of nine to school on the last day of term this December. The rider was trying to escape from a policeman after realizing he was breaking the law by carrying children illegally. The children sustained injuries and are still receiving medical care. Unfortunately, we couldn’t take photos of the victims because their parents were concerned about sharing them with the police.

Incident Two

Another child, under the Ilegal age to be carried on a motorbike, was burned by the exhaust pipe while being taken home from school. Despite the child crying out in pain, the rider didn’t hear because of the helmet and the noise from the wind due to high speed. The child’s parents had to cover medical expenses, and the child missed school for some time.
