We are expecting that this campaign will raise awareness about road safety. We are giving imported helmets as they are effective in reducing the severity of head injuries. According to World Health Organization, wearing a motorcycle helmet can reduce the risk of death in the event of a crash by up to 40% and the chance of a serious injury by up to 70%.”

This campaign will both help to raise awareness about the road safety issues and will also prevent future injuries to both riders and passengers.
