What We Do
Transaid seeks a world where transport contributes fully to a better quality of life. Poor access to transport is seriously undermining the health and wealth of people in developing countries. Part of the solution is to ensure that the resources that are available are well managed.
To achieve this, we build local transport skills and knowledge to make transport systems more affordable, available and efficient.
Our goals
Our two major goals are to improve access to basic services, like healthcare, and opportunities to make a living. We also work on cross-cutting themes, like HIV & AIDS and road safety awareness, to combat some of the negative impacts of transport.
Our focus is on sub-Saharan Africa.
Our people
Our work is managed by professional people, based in-country, who develop projects with local partners. They are supported by volunteers from Transaid's member companies, who share their specialist knowledge with local people on short term placements, and African professionals who have worked in the past as Transaid partners.
