Transaid celebrated its silver jubilee at the Transport Museum in London last week, with more than 170 industry supporters, partners and development organisations in attendance.
After canapés, drinks, and speeches by Joan Aitken, chair of Transaid’s board, and Andrew Malcolm, CEO of the Malcom Group, HRH The Princess Royal addressed guests with a speech both celebrating Transaid’s essential work and reminding supporters of the need for safe and accessible transport in sub-Saharan Africa.
Caroline Barber, CEO of Transaid, said: “I am immensely proud of all that Transaid and our partners, have delivered over 25 years.
“We have grown the scale and impact of our work, improving access to healthcare services for communities in Africa, delivering pioneering road safety initiatives and working tirelessly to reduce death and injury on the roads.”
Transaid was founded 25 years ago by Save the Children, the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport and HRH The Princess Royal to address the lack of expertise on transport barriers in international development.
Transaid is seeking to extend its road safety work, including its motorcycle safety work with the FIA Foundation in Kenya and the next phase of its bicycle ambulance project in Zambia.
