हमारी दृष्टि एक ऐसी दुनिया है जहां बच्चे स्कूल और स्कूल से सुरक्षित यात्रा करते हैं

Let’s make every school journey safe for our kids! 

दुनिया भर में प्रतिदिन 500 बच्चे दुर्घटनाग्रस्त होने वाले दुर्घटनाओं में मारे जाते हैं। कभी-कभी वे स्कूल के प्रवेश द्वार से सिर्फ गज की दूरी पर मारे जाते हैं।

प्रत्येक यातायात मृत्यु और चोट एक बच्चे के शिक्षा के अधिकार का उल्लंघन करती है।

SR4S is informing strategic investment in infrastructure upgrades saving lives and preventing serious injuries every day. It is also empowering global and community advocacy to address the leading killer of young people world-wide – road traffic deaths.
