International development charity Transaid is hoping to raise £10,000 from the transport industry this Christmas by selling an e-card which demonstrates the impact of its projects in Africa.
Donations made in return for the e-card, which can be personalised to incorporate the name and logo of each company, will go towards the organisation’s emergency transport scheme which operates in four areas of northern Nigeria and ensures pregnant women can be taken to healthcare facilities to give birth safely.
It will also help fund Transaid’s professional driver training projects in Zambia and Tanzania which have been set up to combat high levels of road deaths caused by poor driving standards. So far 1,000 drivers have been trained.
Chief executive Chris Saunders said: “The e-card offers our most loyal supporters the chance to celebrate Christmas with their friends and colleagues while at the same time recognising their ongoing commitment to the charity.”
