Nossa visão é um mundo onde as crianças viajem com segurança para e da escola

Let’s make every school journey safe for our kids! 

A cada dia, 500 crianças morrem em acidentes de trânsito evitáveis em todo o mundo. Às vezes, eles são mortos a poucos metros da entrada da escola.

Cada morte e ferimento no trânsito violam o direito da criança à educação.

SR4S is informing strategic investment in infrastructure upgrades saving lives and preventing serious injuries every day. It is also empowering global and community advocacy to address the leading killer of young people world-wide – road traffic deaths.
