Let The Speak Numbers

As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing road safety in Zambia, the Zambia Road Safety Trust (ZRST) has been actively working to address the alarming statistics surrounding road accidents and fatalities. Here is a brief summary of the impact of ZRST’s efforts!

2000+ fatalities

Every year, Zambia witnesses a significant number of road traffic fatalities, surpassing 2000. Tragically, a substantial portion of these fatalities consists of pedestrians and cyclists, including vulnerable groups such as school-going children and older individuals.

30%+ fatality reduction

Through collaborative initiatives with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and other key stakeholders, ZRST has contributed to a notable reduction in road traffic fatalities. By implementing targeted projects focused on infrastructure improvements and safety education!

100,000 School Children

ZRST has prioritized the safety of schoolchildren, recognizing that a significant number of road traffic deaths involve children. The organization has worked on school safety programs, including the implementation of measures such as raised zebra crossings, rumble strips, footpaths, bollards, and signage in selected schools across Lusaka.

100% Global Context

ZRST’s efforts align with global initiatives to address road safety challenges. Acknowledging the global impact of road accidents, the organization contributes to the broader goal of reducing preventable deaths and injuries on roads, as outlined by the World Health Organization.
