Amend.org's innovative work has received press coverage around the world, from global radio broadcasts to newspapers in Africa. Below are links to two excellent pieces about Amend that are available online.

Listen to a far-reaching BBC Radio piece on Amend.org that takes us all the way from New York's Lower East Side to Accra, Ghana.
Read an article from The Christian Science Monitor that gives a smart, concise description of our programs. Also, be sure to listen to the journalist's audio piece describing road conditions in Africa – it is vividly descriptive.

Additionally, Amend executive director Jeffrey Witte has been interviewed numerous times about childhood road safety for children for various media, including an informative article in Newsweek, which you can read here.

Amend has also received a good variety of local press in Africa. You can download a PDF of an article from the popular Nigerian magazine True Love West Africa here and a PDF of an article from the Ghanaian newspaper The Child Alert here.




Amend regularly holds fund-raising events: everything from dinners to film screenings and parties in private homes. You can always find our ever-popular party pictures here.
