Safekids.org – Preventing Accidental Injury

Safekids.orgIn the year of its 20th anniversary, Safe Kids Worldwide invites users to learn about their experience with kids and join the organization. Safe Kids Worldwide is the first and only international nonprofit organization dedicated solely to preventing unintentional childhood injury.

It focuses on one specific problem: more children from 1 to 14 die from accidents, such as motor vehicle crashes, fires, drowning, poisoning, and falls, than any other cause. However, this organization believes that almost all of these injuries are preventable. That’s why Safe Kids Worldwide promotes changes in attitudes, behaviors, laws, and environment, to prevent accidental injury to children. Safe Kids Worldwide depends on the support of grass roots networks in its 16 member countries to implement safety programs and hands-on training throughout the world. They work closely with law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, health experts, and other professionals, to educate and protect families. Pick your country in Safekids.org and contribute to this commitment. Safekids.org
