SDC support Transaid healthcare access in rural Zambia

The team at SDC Trailers are incredibly proud to support Transaid’s bicycle ambulance initiative in rural Zambia. These bicycles are used by Emergency Transport Riders (ETRs) to urgently transfer pregnant women with complications and children suffering from severe malaria to healthcare facilities when every second counts.

Transaid, an international development charity, works to transform lives through safe, available, and sustainable transport. Founded by Save the Children, The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), and its Patron, HRH The Princess Royal, Transaid works with communities, partners, and governments to address transport challenges across sub-Saharan Africa. Transaid’s activities include professional driver training and improving access to essential healthcare services.

Paul Bratton, President at SDC Trailers, said, “We’re honoured to play a part in this important initiative and support Transaid’s vital work towards transforming lives through safe, accessible, and sustainable transport.”
