International development organisation Transaid has launched its 2026 Christmas Appeal, inviting businesses and individuals to help create a brighter road ahead for communities across sub-Saharan Africa by supporting improved road safety and access to essential healthcare.
Working in partnership with organisations in Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Zambia, Transaid delivers professional driver training programmes, develops new driving standards and supports sustainable, community-led transport solutions to connect communities to vital healthcare.
Over the last year, Transaid and partners have:
- Trained more than 8,000 professional drivers and riders in Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia.
- Provided more than 5,300 eye tests to long-distance truck drivers in Kenya and distributed 1,280 pairs of glasses.
- Reached almost 4,000 drivers with road safety education in Ghana.
- Delivered refresher training to 208 bicycle ambulance riders, custodians and Community Health Volunteers.
The continued generosity of the transport and logistics industry plays a crucial role in making Transaid’s work possible. For this year’s Christmas Appeal, Transaid has created three corporate donation packages, designed to recognise and celebrate the support of businesses across the sector.
Companies and individuals can also support the appeal by ordering festive Transaid-themed greetings cards or by making a direct donation.
