The programme aims to contribute to reducing traffic injuries and fatalities by developing recommendations for establishing criteria, models, standards and regulations for traffic-safe school zones in Vietnam.

As part of the Helmets for Kids programme in Vietnam, supported by Johnson & Johnson and in collaboration with the National Traffic Safety Committee and Hanoi’s Department of Education and Training, a helmet handover ceremony was held at Kim Anh High School in the capital city.

Traffic safety around schools in Pleiku city in the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai has improved remarkably thanks to a two-year project entitled ‘Slow Zones, Safe Zones’.

Almost 3,300 qualified helmets have been presented to primary students in the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai in the 2017 – 2018 academic year.
