AUGUST 2010 IS CHILD SAFETY MONTH
ACT NOW! “HELP GIVE OUR CHILDREN A SAFER FUTURE ”
In South Africa alone, each year there are over 7000 childhood deaths and countless more injuries that often result in hospitalization and further treatment. This inhibits the child’s ability to learn and progress normally, affecting every aspect of their lives.
In sub-Saharan Africa, these injuries are far more prevalent than anywhere else in the world. Not only is the rate at which childhood injuries are occurring increasing, but also the lasting effects of such injuries are becoming more severe as well.
It is because of this phenomenon that the Childsafe, a campaign of the Child Accident Prevention Foundation of Southern Africa (CAPFSA) promotes Child Safety Month every August.
