Funds raised will support our essential work in Africa, helping Transaid and its partners to continue to improve rural access to healthcare, and ensure professional drivers can leave for a day's work without fear that they may not come home.
Transaid's portfolio of road safety programmes continues to grow, and they are focused on influencing safe driver behaviour, with long term programmes in Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. In 2021, Transaid launched a professional driver training programme in Mozambique, and also entered into phase-two of the professional driver training programme in Uganda. Nahabwe Sharon Kinyatta is a female driver on the Professional Driver Training Uganda Phase Two (PDTU2) programme.
The innovative community-led programme, MAMaZ Against Malaria (MAM) at Scale programme has expanded coverage to 10 districts and is reaching a population of one million people with its severe malaria and COVID-19 response. Emergency Transport Schemes (ETS) provide a vital link between rural communities and health services, as part of the MAM at Scale programme. ETS riders are volunteers who serve their communities by using bicycle ambulances to take people to health facilities in medical emergencies.
The bicycle ambulance is the best thing that has happened to this community. I see people going about their daily lives in my community who otherwise wouldn't be alive today." Josephine, a Community Health Volunteer in Zambia.
With your help, we can continue to transform lives through safe, available, and sustainable transport. See here for more information on our programmes.
