Allianz Lanka furthers commitment to child safety on the road

This September, Allianz Lanka reaffirms its commitment to a safer future for children on the roads with ‘Allianz Protect’, marking another important step in its journey to protect the nation’s most precious asset – its children. With over 700 fatalities from road accidents in the first four months of 2023, according to the Sri Lanka Police, motorcycle-related accidents account for nearly 40% of total road accidents. Meanwhile 63% of victims are in the economically productive age groups of 15 to 64 years, with many being children.

Allianz Protect, in its unwavering dedication to promoting the safety of children on the road, Allianz Lanka is embarking on a new round of child-safety-helmet distribution for children who travel on motorbikes. Following the resounding success of a similar project in 2022, Allianz Lanka took its efforts by identifying deserving beneficiaries and monitoring their safety during school hours, joining forces with the Sri Lanka Police. For the second consecutive year, this initiative continues its focus on distributing safety helmets for children, aiming to minimize accidents and ensure the wellbeing of the younger generation.
