Road safety knowledge in action! 🛣️ At the VIA Safe Mobility National Competition our young road safety ambassadors from Hoima, Kikuube and Buliisa representing Buhanguzi Model H/S, Wanseko Town P/S, Kisiabi P/S, ST Thomas More SS, Biiso Model P/S, Kigorobya Seed SS, Uganda Marty's Comprehensive SS and Kiziranfumbi H/S are presenting the risks they have identified on the roads, in their communities recommending practical solutions and sharing how they have taken road safety sensitization into their communities and other schools. These ambassadors have taken the initiative to advocate safe road use behavior to boda boda riders, market vendors who sell goods on the roads and in churches. Through their presentations, the learners are highlighting the importance of: Walking on the right side of the road. Helping younger children cross the road safely. Sensitising fellow learners about road signs and their meanings. Using designated crossing points. Following safe road-crossing practices. Avoiding over speeding of boda bodas and cars Respecting the road signs and regulations. From identifying everyday road dangers to empowering fellow learners and community members with safer road use practices, these young people are demonstrating that they are not just learning about road safety they are actively championing change in many different ways including songs and poems. Together with @TotalEnergiesUG and @TotalEnergies_F through the VIA programme, we are empowering a generation ready to speak up for safer mobility and inspire action wherever they are. #VIASafeMobility #RoadSafety #Competition

We are turning road safety lessons into practical experiences at Hoima Public School, guiding children through safe crossing at a zebra crossing and helping them develop safe road use behavior that extend beyond the learning environment. Through these practical learning experiences, children are equipped to become road safety ambassadors, carrying their knowledge beyond the school environment to influence safer road use among their peers and communities. To other road users: When a child sees a driver stop and allow a pedestrian to cross, they witness road safety in action. When a driver or rider disregards a crossing, it sends a different message. Let’s make sure our actions teach the right lessons. #RoadSafety #BehaviourChange #SafeWayRightWay
