HANOI, Vietnam - April 29, 2014

On April 28-29, Johnson & Johnson kicked-off their third year of sponsorship with Asia Injury Prevention (AIP) Foundation’s Helmets for Kids program at three primary schools in Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, and Dong Nai provinces.

In partnership with the National Traffic Safety Committee, Ministry of Education and Training, and provincial counterparts, 4,057 students and teachers at project schools received helmets this week. On top of this, approximately 6,000 additional helmets will be donated in September, for newly enrolled students.

Since 2012, through this successful school-based program, Johnson & Johnson has donated more than 32,000 helmets across 39 schools, increasing the helmet use rate from 25 percent to 95 percent by the end of 2013.
