Give a Vietnamese child a helmet; save a life

From April to May 2022, AIP Foundation in partnership with the UPS Foundation has organized a series of fun learning activities on road safety for students in Thai Nguyen Province, Vietnam. This came as part of our larger program called Safety Delivered, a program implemented by AIP Foundation to work with primary school students and motorcyclists in high-risk areas across Asia to reduce road crash injuries and fatalities among children and vulnerable road users, through inclusive helmet distribution and education, combined with advocacy and awareness initiatives. 

Our students participated in a drawing contest following the topic “Correct helmet wear – Safety Delivered” - raising their voices on what safe helmets mean to them. It was a unique opportunity for students to reflect on the road safety knowledge and lessons they learned through the program. Their artwork carries meaningful messages, such as the life-saving impact of a quality helmet,  or the importance of having road safety skills for parents. The activity concluded in May with an extracurricular event and the announcement of the winners of the contest. 

Mr. Thinh, Deputy Director at the Thai Nguyen Department of Education and Training expressed,  “As the protectors of our future generation, it is our responsibility to ensure that every student is safe on their way to and from school. We must work together to do this. We cannot hope to achieve this alone.” The work at AIP Foundation shares the same philosophy, we believe in collaboration with multi-stakeholders from the public and private sectors to achieve our goal of zero road crash fatalities.
