AIP Foundation creates public-private partnerships, develops mass media education and school curricula, and implements school-based helmet use and traffic safety education programs. These programs include school-based Helmets for Kids, Safe Routes to School, Click on Safety, and mass media public awareness education. Our efforts to improve road and road user safety also include advocacy, the provision of technical assistance and expertise, and the provision of high quality, culturally appropriate and affordable helmets to the market. In 2009, AIP Foundation, in collaboration with the FIA Foundation and the World Bank Global Road Safety Facility, launched the Global Helmet Vaccine Initiative, an international movement with the objective of “putting a helmet on every head in the ‘Decade of Action for Road Safety.’” The Initiative brings AIP Foundation programs to developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and will work to reduce the projected number of road traffic crash deaths and injury by 50 percent by 2020. In 2017, AIP Foundation gained Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. United Nations (UN) consultative status is the highest status granted by the United Nations to NGOs and thereby allows us to participate in the work of the UN and directly contribute to its agenda.
