Today, we delivered the new educational material that completes the Safe Walks training process: the storybook “Rama takes a risk by the skin of his teeth”, available in Swahili and English.
The first schools to receive it were Sta. Monica, Fat-hi International Community School, Nelken School, and Mluka Bin Alwi Islamic School.
Through the story of Ali and Rama, two friends who experience a few close calls on the road, children learn why respecting road safety rules matters, for their own well-being and for the whole community. Fun, accessible, and educational, this story helps reinforce key lessons beyond the classroom.
In 2025, thanks to the support of IDOM, 590 copies were produced in both languages. The story was written and generously donated by renowned Tanzanian writer and educator Richard Mabala, with design and layout donated by Oscar Morales Maroto.
🌱 A sustainable step forward: even when Kukua is not physically present in schools, Rama and Salama will continue promoting safe walking habits through school libraries.
More schools will receive their copies in the coming weeks.
💛 Thank you, IDOM, for making this possible!

Hoy hemos entregado el nuevo material didáctico que cierra la formación del programa Safe Walks: el cuento “Rama takes a risk by the skin of his teeth”, disponible en suajili e inglés.
A través de la historia de Ali y Rama, dos amigos que viven algunos sustos en la carretera, niñas y niños aprenden la importancia de respetar las normas de seguridad vial para su bienestar y el de toda la comunidad. Un recurso cercano, divertido y educativo que refuerza el aprendizaje más allá del aula.
En 2025, gracias al apoyo de IDOM, se produjeron 590 ejemplares en ambos idiomas. El cuento fue escrito y donado por el reconocido escritor y educador tanzano Richard Mabala, diseñado y maquetado por Oscar Morales Maroto, e ilustrado por Gonzalo Martín Pierto.
🌱 Un paso hacia la sostenibilidad: aunque Kukua no esté presente físicamente en las aulas, Rama y Salama seguirán promoviendo hábitos de movilidad segura desde las bibliotecas escolares.
💛 ¡Gracias, IDOM, por hacerlo posible!
