Greetings from SaveLIFE Foundation! I hope you and your loved ones are keeping safe in these tough times.
Before the COVID 2nd wave hit India, we were able to begin the preliminary phase of the project to create safe school zones.
We selected 3 schools in the city of Bangalore, Karnataka namely Peniel School, Whitefield Global School and St. Joseph’s Convent School and conducted a preliminary secondary desk analysis of these schools. The on-ground reconnaissance survey was also conducted by an expert agency commissioned by SLF for identifying the routes children prefer to walk to school. The reconnaissance survey and secondary analysis helped in selecting Peniel School as a model school for Safe School Zone Project where the tactical urbanism (TU) intervention can reduce the risk and improve the safety to access school.
As part of next steps, we will conduct a detailed survey and prepare concept redesigning for the TU trials. The idea is to collect raw data and get them critically analysed by the experts so as to provide solutions with the help of the desired interventions.
A huge shout-out to all of you for supporting us endlessly and making this project come live. Thank you all for your gifts and support!
