AIP Foundation and Toll Group are hosting a handover ceremony to celebrate the recent completion of the road safety modifications at Promrach Rangsan School.

KAMPOT Province, Cambodia, 27 September 2022 — Prudential Cambodia and Prudence Foundation hosted a SAFE STEPS Kids Road Safety Day to help improve and raise awareness on road safety for Cambodian students. As part of the SAFE STEPS – Road Safety programme, the event took place on 22 September 2022 at Hun Sen Trosek Koang high school, Kampot province, with about 1,000 students attending.

For their impressive collaborative work to improve road safety for youth and for the community, national and local governments in Vietnam will be awarded two highly prestigious international road safety awards for their work in Pleiku City, which now serves as a model for safe school zones nationwide.

Learning is one of the main components of everyday life, especially during childhood and as young adults. Everyone has the right to go to school to learn and build their future. Safe mobility and easy commuting to school are at the heart of everyone’s access to education. Around the world, many children are safe on their way to school by taking public transportation, by riding or by walking on safe roads. However, not every student in Vietnam enjoys equal safety on their way to and from school. To safeguard vulnerable school children across the country, the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) and the National Traffic Safety Committee (NTSC) in collaboration with AIP Foundation, is hosting a regional training workshop to train teachers on a new traffic safety e-curriculum.

Everyone has the right to go to school to learn and build their future. This is why safe mobility and easy commuting to school are at the heart of everyone’s access to education. Sadly, our children are one of the most vulnerable road users. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death for children and young adults (5-29 years old) globally. In the Philippines, not every student enjoys equal safety on his/her way to and from school.

As part of the growing legacy of Safety Delivered, supported by The UPS Foundation and in cooperation with the Automobile Association Philippines and Department of Education Mandaluyong, AIP Foundation will be hosting a helmet handover ceremony for students from Filemon P. Javier and Dona Basilisa Yangco Elementary Schools.

To achieve the target Sustainable Development Goal 3.6 to halve the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents, Chevron Street Wise program will celebrate the launch of the first Road Safety Learning Center for secondary students in Thailand, at the Woranari Chaloem secondary school.

The Chevron Street Wise program is inherently aligned with the Global Plan as part of the Second Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021 – 2030 and Thailand’s National Road Safety plan. At the core of this program, all activities engage our youth to be a part of the solution to empower safer road users. Because safe mobility and easy commuting to school are at the heart of access to education.

By engaging the media and increasing visibility and public awareness, we ensure that people are involved in every step of the decision-making process, bringing road safety out of the isolation in which it has been treated for far too long. This marks an important step to contributing to lasting policy reform making our roads safer throughout Vietnam. Dr. Trần Hữu Minh from the National Traffic Safety Committee (NTSC) will have the pleasure to welcome participants to the press conference and deliver the opening speech.

The objective of the press conference is to provide Vietnamese media agencies with up-to-date scientific information and practical recommendations, ensuring they comprehend the road safety context globally and in Vietnam so that they disseminate their knowledge to the mass audience, which in turn can influence upcoming Road Traffic Law Amendment and Law on Road Traffic Order and Safety.

In celebration of the lessons learned as part of  the Safety Delivered program, supported by The UPS Foundation, we are proud to host a day of fun learning about road safety and announce the winners of the helmet safety-drawing contest!

In cooperation with the Provincial Traffic Safety Committee and the Department of Education and Training of Thai Nguyen Province, AIP Foundation is gathering at Trang Xa School to bring together students, teachers and local government representatives. As a community, we have to work hand in hand for sustainable change.

Around the world, our community is mobilizing for the #CommitToAct Streets for Life Campaign 2022. AIP Foundation, along with its steadfast partners, is proud to join forces with this global movement from Pleiku, our model city for safe school zones in Vietnam. AIP Foundation is gathering with government partners, the National Traffic Safety Committee (NTSC), the Ministry of Education and Training, the Ministry of Transport, the Gia Lai Provincial People’s Committee, the Gia Lai Provincial Traffic Safety Committee, and relevant partners for a workshop to celebrate the milestones of the Slow Zones, Safe Zones program thus far and kickstart the extension phase.
