For your safety and other road users, ensure that you never drive above the speed limit

We had our final breakfast meeting of the year as members of the National Helmet Wearing Coalition, hosted by Sandeep Radiar, CEO of Boda Plus, at their Ruiru factory.

A key milestone this year has been the establishment of a helmet testing lab in Kigali, Rwanda this is a huge step towards safer roads in our region.

However, the statistics shared during the meeting are a stark reminder of the work ahead, In 2024, road fatalities stand at 4,498, a 10.4% increase from 4,075 in 2023.
Here’s the breakdown of fatalities;
• Pedestrians: 1,722
• Drivers: 383
• Passengers: 829
• Pillion Passengers: 387
• Cyclists: 73
• Boda Boda Cyclists: 1,104

Tragically, in the last 24 hours alone, 19 lives were lost.

As we enter the festive season, let’s prioritize safety on the roads. Exercise caution, adhere to traffic regulations, and remember every life matters.

Join us as we come together to honor the lives lost on our roads. We’ll be assembling at City Hall Way at 9 AM before making a special procession driving, riding, and cycling to Ngong Road Forest Sanctuary for a tree planting activity. 🌳

Everyone is welcome to be part of this day. Please dress warmly and wear your gumboots, as the forest is cold and wet.

It’s all systems go for the upcoming World Day of Remembrance for Road Accident Victims (WDOR) on November 17th, 2024.

This year, we continue our efforts to plant trees at Forest Sanctuary as a symbol of remembrance and hope.
Activities include procession from City Hall Way (starting at 9:00am) to the sanctuary once we get there we’ll do a 7km nature walk to the planting site and conclude with a mini service and prayers.

The forest is muddy and wet please dress warm and put on your gumboots. Kids are invited too.

Earlier today our Founder and Co-Founder had a fruitful meeting with Dr. Collins Ondiek from the School of Data Science at USIU-Africa.

The discussions focused on exploring areas of synergy and collaboration in data analysis and road safety.
Together, we’re looking forward to leveraging data-driven insights to enhance our road safety initiatives across the region.

This partnership marks a significant step forward in our mission to promote safer roads for all. Looking forward to driving change together.
