Cambodia - July 31, 2014

On July 31, AIP Foundation’s Cambodia team conducted community outreach to promote passenger helmet use through the Helmets for Families program supported by Manulife Cambodia.

Community outreach volunteers, selected from AIP Foundation training sessions, reached hundreds of people in the community surrounding the Wat Preah Put Primary School by distributing educational materials on the importance of helmet use and the road crash situation in Cambodia. Posters containing road safety information were placed in strategic high-volume centers to encourage the community to wear helmets. Volunteers also informed the community of the upcoming legislation amendment, which will require passengers to wear helmets.
