THE CHALLENGE

India loses a life on its roads roughly every three minutes.

India records more road-crash deaths than any other country, and trucks and commercial vehicles are involved in a disproportionate share of fatal crashes. The drivers who keep the nation's supply chains moving are among its most overworked and underserved workers.

Most of these crashes are caused by human error and fatigue, which means they are preventable.

WHO WE ARE

A registered non-profit, built around the driver.

HumSafer Driver Safety Foundation is a not-for-profit working to make India's roads safer and improve the lives of the country's truck drivers, one of the largest yet most underserved segments of the national workforce.

Our board and promoters come from the transportation industry, giving the Foundation an unusually close, first-hand understanding of drivers' lives. Programmes are delivered by a dedicated on-ground team with field coordinators stationed at transport hubs and logistics yards.

OUR PROGRAMMES

One driver, three needs, supported together.

We support a driver's health, safety and financial stability as one integrated model, not in isolation.

PILLAR 01 · HEALTH

The Suraksha Clinic

OPD medical camps and free-medicine distribution for truck drivers, delivered with anchor donor Gulf Oil. Every driver gets a check-up, medicines and health awareness, at no cost.

PILLAR 02 · SAFETY

Road-safety training

On-ground awareness and training sessions at logistics yards and transport hubs, sustained even through difficult monsoon conditions. With 9 in 10 drivers untrained, this prevents crashes before they happen.

PILLAR 03 · FINANCIAL

Financial inclusion

Equipping drivers with the knowledge and tools to manage and grow their money, and bringing them into formal financial services for the first time.

THE FUNDABLE UNIT

The Driver Welfare Centre

A fixed on-ground centre at a truck terminus or transport hub that delivers all three pillars together: health, safety and financial inclusion under one roof.

This is the scalable unit a corporate funds through CSR: a measurable, branded, end-to-end driver-welfare programme in a single location.

🛣️

On-ground driver training

Sustained road-safety sessions at yards and hubs, meeting drivers where they work rather than asking them to come to us.
