Becca Mugo - Design Leader

 

Back in my younger years in 2013, the aggravation of reckless driving leading to road deaths and injuries was a heated topic amongst friends.  It’s easy to talk about road safety as a distant cousin until you have the misfortune of having yourself or someone relatively close to you find themselves a victim of it.   When the opportunity to be part of Pamoja Road Safety Initiative came up, it opened doors to be part of a global solution.  One of the doors it opened was the chance to be trained as a Road safety youth facilitator through Youth for Road Safety (YOURS) This training became a point of empowerment and critical knowledge in how to be a road safety role model, address my peers and help make a difference.
Communication is key. Visual stimulation is part and parcel of communication. Together with other road safety champions, we worked with Pamoja Road Safety Initiative in creating a booklet that targeted children’s education in road safety. The graphics in the booklet were of children in their day to day involvement in road activities and how to best maintain safety of themselves and of others.  Learning easy as 1,2,3 if you are relating and enjoying what you are reading.
Currently, I work as a full time Interior designer. Internal spaces too do need their global revolution.  I do participate in road safety peer education with every opportunity I get. I also volunteer with a Non-profit organizations called ‘M-tree’ to network and promote creative and sustainable life in rural parts of my country.   I am a University of Nairobi Graduate ( Design).

Evelyne Kelemba- Illustrations Leader

As an illustrator, I enjoy capturing moments and exploring various concepts. Armed with a notepad when out in the world, there is always something inspiring from what I see, everyday moments which I can capture through words or drawings. Taking part in road safety training gave me new perspective on things and now I notice more details on the roads. One day on my walk home, I stopped at red light for pedestrians. Although there were no cars, I thought that I should just stop since there are not many traffic lights in Kenya, unfortunately and savour the moment. A fellow citizen next to me wanted to cross as I could see their eagerness to do so at the red light. I find such moments noteworthy when thinking of road safety. ¬¬ I am a Design graduate of the University of Nairobi
