In addition to donating helmets to new students and replacing crash helmets at no cost, parents are eligible to buy subsidized helmets at a half price to replace the damaged ones in the campaign carried out since October 1.
This shows that students’ parents are aware of the importance of quality helmet use and are exhibiting behavior change.
According to reports, 25 children in project schools were involved in a crash in 2015 alone. That number is half of the numebrs reported in 2014 thanks to the support of donors and helmets.
Helmets for Kids is AIP Foundation’s signature program, launched by former President Bill Clinton in 2000. It provides school children and teachers with quality helmets and road safety education through funding support from numerous individuals, private sectors, and organizations.
