HPR in partner with IMCC FAIR launched First Aid Initiative Rwanda (FAIR). aims at promoting road safety and first aid in Rwanda with goal  of reducing morbidity and mortality among children and youth due to road traffic crashes in Rwanda.
 
On 15th March, in this week HPR conducted campaign at GS KIMIRONKO 2 that was marked by good attendance around 600 hundred students attended the campaign.   
 
The aim of this campaign was to encourage students  to keep learn about road safety and the behaviors that they should have to be safe while they are using road and They were also sensitized on safe road usage.    
 
Students from Health club as they took teachings session on road safety and first aid. It was their time to show what they have learnt and to provide the key messages to their colleagues (entire school).
 
At the end of campaign representative   of school said “ I would like to thank HPR for training our students about road safety and first aid, Road safety is a priority. It is every one responsibility to keep himself/herself  and others safe. I would like also to encourage our students to share to the community what they have learnt. Let’s change the bad statistics related to bad use of road”
 
If we take actions including: raising awareness on road safety, legislating and enforcing laws governing speed limits, seat-belt use, road safety education and safety helmets; Road traffic crashes can be prevented and reduced.
 
Annual Global Road crash statistics showed that Nearly 1.25 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day. An additional 20-50 million are injured or disabled. more than half of all road traffic deaths occur among young adults ages 15-44.Road crashes are the leading cause of death among young people ages 15-29, and the second leading cause of death worldwide among young people ages 5-14. That’s means road safety is not only for the adult but also young ones should know and learn about road safety.

Statistics are the most accurate presentation of probabilities. I mean, if you do not pay attention to what the numbers tell you, then all you are doing is just random guessing. Of course, I am not saying that they are the most important part of making a decision, but they should hold a great influence to it. I use statistics and number to understand what I have to do, I will tell you that. It really helps when you have a basis for your decision.

Secondly, the research suggesting helmets actually work has been superseded by research of higher quality suggesting the opposite. Cycle helmets do not seem to work well.
