Youths for Road Safety-Kenya (YOURS-K)
http://www.youthsforroadsafetykenya.org
ABOUT US
YOURS-K is an NGO founded in 2010 by a small group of youths from Nairobi-Kenya who are bound together by their conviction that too many lives have already been and continue to be lost on our roads unnecessarily, and that there are already too many casualties. We are convinced further that these unfortunate deaths and injuries can be minimized or completely done away with just by dint of discipline on our roads. We are kept on track by the following vision, mission and motto.
VISION
YOURS-K envisions a society that is enthusiastic enough to utilize the road to its full potential to spur both socio-economic and political growth and development while at the same time cautious enough not to turn the same road into a death trap.
MISSION
To use all means possible to ensure that all road users arrive safely to their destinations. We hope to accomplish this through advocacy, research, collaborations and trainings.
MOTTO Respect for humanity, for the road and for the vehicle!
TARGET GROUP
Our major target group is the youth who are statistically the most vulnerable.
MAJOR ACTIVITIES Our activities include: advocacy for road safety, organizing for youth assemblies to lobby the youth to own the road safety agenda as well as networking with several stake holders to try an influence road safety oriented policies.
