Governments and road agencies across Africa are asking for Safe Schools Africa's support faster than the programme can currently deliver it. Read more about the model behind this growing demand, and the results it's already achieving continent-wide.

Almost every rural pupil along Madagascar’s RN6 walks to school, with around half crossing the road. In Antananarivo, a roundtable hosted by Amend, the FIA Foundation and the Agence Routière asked how to make children’s safety a standard part of every new road. Days later, a new Safe School Zone opened at a high-risk school in the capital.
Using its award-winning methodology, Amend and its partners have built a new Safe School Zone around Mwangaza Primary School in Kayole, Nairobi. Raised crossings, speed bumps and protected walkways now separate children from traffic and slow vehicles to below 30 km/h, giving the school's 2,712 learners a safer journey every day.
Amend marks 20 years of work making Africa's roads safer for children with the release of its 2025 Impact Report: Engineering a world where every child can walk safely. From data-driven school zone designs to expanding partnerships across the continent, explore the year's milestones and what's ahead for 2026. Read the full report here.
In Lusaka, Zambia, the Safe Schools Africa workshop brought together engineers and road safety practitioners from across Sub-Saharan Africa. From site visits to hands-on design exercises, participants translated field observations into practical engineering solutions and procurement approaches ready for use in national road projects.
