About SaveLIFE Foundation:
SaveLIFE Foundation (SLF) is a non-profit organisation committed to saving lives on roads in

India. We have been recognised as the Best NGO in India by the Rockefeller Foundation and

are a recipient of the prestigious Prince Michael International Road Safety Award. We partner

directly with the government, industry, and local communities across India to make the most

dangerous roads safer.

Road crashes kill over 1.3 million people globally each year. India holds the dubious

distinction of being the world’s number one in road crash deaths, with at least 150,000

fatalities and over one million serious injuries per year. Most victims come from extremely

poor backgrounds. Road crashes have emerged as the number one cause of death for Indians

in the age group of 15-45, dealing a crushing blow to the nation’s productivity and a loss of

3% to our GDP each year – an amount that can eradicate hunger from India, twice over each

year. Tragically, road crashes in India are also one of the biggest causes of death for children

under age 14, with over twenty fatalities each day, mostly in the vicinity of schools.

SLF operates at the intersection of policy-making and grassroots impact. We are best

known for getting India a Good Samaritan Law that encourages bystanders to help critically

injured persons on the road, expected to save 50% lives otherwise lost to preventable

injuries. Most recently, SLF has delivered an astounding 52% reduction in fatalities on the

Mumbai-Pune Expressway, and a reduction of 69% on in fatalities on the Old Mumbai –

Pune Highway (NH-48) through a combination of measures ranging from improved road

engineering to technology-driven traffic enforcement to optimised trauma response – the

Zero Fatality Corridor (ZFC) model.
