SOWH - Safe On Wheels is a unique youth-led initiative with sights set on making Nigerian roads safer for all. SOWH’s campaign for safer roads is essentially social media and mobile web driven - as this provides the best
platform to reach age groups most at risk of death from road traffic accidents (10-24 year olds), but also reaches out “offline” through seminars, campaigns, event and the mass media. SOWH is also a community of like-minded individuals working together, sharing, networking, teaching and learning for the same cause and invites all who believe in the vision. Vision: A Nigeria with safest roads in Africa – where road traffic accidents are a rarity and effective emergency response is always on standby.
