SAFE BODABODA

Over 60% of road accidents in Tanzania are motorcycle accidents. Post accident trauma comes with various mental health issues that maybe short time or even long lived by many individuals. It is unfortunate that, like other informal groups in the country, the youth in the field of ‘bodaboda’ remains uncoordinated. The aim of this project is to encourage proper coordination among youth in informal groups starting with ‘bodaboda’ and create a safer environment for mental health conversations and support not only as a result of accidents but also financial constraints, drug abuse, family challenges among others. This project is to be implemented starting with Kilimanjaro region, and Dar es salaam in partnership with Rotary and Rotaract Clubs.
