Pamoja Road Safety Initiative is a Kenyan NGO dedicated to saving lives and preventing injuries on our roads. We work at the intersection of policy,
enforcement, infrastructure, and community behavior, partnering government agencies, transport stakeholders, and communities to deliver safer roads for everyone. Road crashes are not accidents—they are preventable. At Pamoja, we believe that evidence-led action, collaboration, and accountability can turn policy into protection and advocacy into lives saved.
Every day, families across Kenya and the World lose loved ones to road crashes. Inappropriate speed (too fast and sometimes too slow road hogging), unsafe road design, weak enforcement, and risky behavior continue to claim lives and undermine economic and social wellbeing.
Behind every statistic is a person—a student crossing the road, a boda boda rider earning a living, a mother commuting to work. Our mission is to ensure that roads are designed, managed, and used with people at the Centre. We promote safe system approach to road safety.
Pamoja delivers impact through a practical, systems-based approach:
