Cambodia - November 21, 2013

On November 21st, the Asia Injury Prevention (AIP) Foundation donated road safety equipment to representatives of the National Police of Cambodia as part of the Cambodia Helmet Vaccine Initiative (CHVI). The donation was made to support the increased enforcement of the national helmet law as part of the government of Cambodia’s commitment to meeting the goals of the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety.

AIP Foundation’s donation included a total of 1,000 helmets to police along with vital road safety equipment such as traffic cones and fences, radios, strobe lights, rechargeable lamps and reflective vests. Next year, representatives of the Cambodian Police will embark on a study tour of Vietnam and Malaysia where they will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to enforce the motorcycle passenger, including child, helmet law, which is awaiting government approval.
