Creating Awareness and Building Safe Roads for Young Explorers

GS COMMUNITY has been actively involved in promoting road safety awareness among children in Tanzania since its establishment in 2012. Through various initiatives and programs, GS has successfully impacted over 15,000 children and youth.

To implement this project, GS Community has developed a comprehensive plan involving educational materials, training sessions, collaborations with schools and local authorities, and radio campaigns. The project's expected outcomes include improved knowledge of road safety, increased safety on the roads, better decision-making skills among children, increased confidence, and greater community awareness.

In Tanzania, road accidents are a major public health concern and a leading cause of death among children. According to the World Health Organization, road traffic accidents account for over 11,000 deaths in Tanzania each year, with children being particularly vulnerable. in 2022, Tanzania police data show that 955 road accidents occurred in the period of January to June 2022 alone, increasing from 858 in comparison with the same period in 2021, equivalent to a 11.3% increase.91 Resulting deaths also increased from 469 in January to June 2021 to 527 in January to June 2022 (12.4% increase) source Tanzania human right report of 2022

A child safety project in Primary schools, would aim to raise awareness about road safety among children and their caregivers, and promote safer road behavior through education and community outreach programs. The project would also work to improve road infrastructure and regulations to make roads safer for all users, including children. Overall, the child safety project is needed to prevent road accidents and reduce the number of deaths and injuries among children in Kilimanjaro

Project evaluation

We evaluated the children's road safety awareness project with our team to assess its effectiveness. The evaluation included reviewing feedback from radio program listeners and school workshop participants. We analyzed how well children understood and applied the safety concepts taught. The team also monitored changes in children's behavior on the roads. The results showed that the project successfully increased children's awareness of road safety, leading to safer practices.

children Road Safety Radio

Children's road safety awareness has had a positive impact on children through radio programs and school workshops. These initiatives have taught children how to stay safe on the roads, such as by using pedestrian crossings and understanding traffic signals. The radio programs reach a wide audience, reinforcing important safety messages, while the workshops allow hands-on learning in a school setting. As a result, children are more aware of road dangers and know how to protect themselves.
