Helmets for Kids (HFK) is a non-profit program distributing free quality safety helmets to needy primary school children.
Sadly, children in Vietnam bear the brunt of the traffic safety crisis because they do not have access to proper safety equipment. In a society where the motorbike is the primary mode of transportation, children have become the most vulnerable passengers while riding with their parents. In response, AIPF initiated Helmets for Kids. Launched in 2000, this innovative program was the catalyst for government, nonprofit organizations, and corporate sponsors to work together to develop one of the most successful public-private partnerships devoted to saving the lives of children in the developing world. The program has distributed more than 260,000 child helmets to primary schools throughout Vietnam, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia and is now being expanded into Africa.
