Considering the escalating statistics of road carnage globally, regionally and nationally, the numerous traffic offenses recorded by law enforcement agencies, the burden these offenses place on the judiciary, and the overall adverse effects these road offenses, carnages, and their toll have on families, society, and the economy, it is imperative that we address these issues. We must sensitize all stakeholders—including pedestrians, motorists, cyclists, and law enforcers—on how to reduce potential fatalities and how to effectively use road transport for the benefit of all.

At LRSI, we strive to empower and equip children and young people to safely access education as they navigate dangerous roads. We ensure that communities are trained and equipped to provide first aid at crash scenes before paramedics arrive, provide emergency response to enhance pre-hospital response time, and sensitize, train, and equip motorists not only to drive/ride responsibly but also to offer first responder services in the event of a crash.

By collectively advocating for safer roads and responsible driving practices, we can make a tangible difference in curbing these preventable tragedies.
