Our Impact

Transaid transforms lives through safe, available, and sustainable transport. Founded by Save the Children, The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), and its Patron, HRH The Princess Royal, we work with communities, partners, and governments to address transport challenges across sub-Saharan Africa.

  • Access to Healthcare

    Our partner-led approach to improving access to healthcare includes establishing emergency transport systems (ETS), primarily in rural areas, to reduce the barriers to healthcare posed by lack of transport. We are also working to strengthen health supply chains in collaboration with local partners and governments.

  • Road Safety

    Our partner-led approach to improving road safety focuses on promoting safe driver behaviour and advocating for quality truck, bus and motorcycle training with long term programmes in Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. We encourage the exchange of knowledge and skills at national, regional, and global levels to deliver sustainable change to driver training standards across sub-Saharan Africa.
