Official Launch of the Philippe E. Wamba Memorial Fund for Road Safety in Africa
On April 9, 2004, HASAN officially launched the Philippe E. Wamba Memorial Fund for the Improvement of Road Traffic Safety in Africa at the Harvard Faculty Club in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
The opening session was a seminar on the growing epidemic of road traffic injuries globally and in Africa and the possible solutions to this problem. This was immediately followed by a reception which highlighted the toll that road traffic deaths, particularly that of Philippe’s, cause to families and friends and introduced the Wamba Memorial Fund. The event was co-sponsored with Africana.com, the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies, and the Harvard Center for African Studies. About 100 people were present, including friends and family members of Philippe, HASAN members, students and faculty of Harvard University and road traffic safety professionals from Botswana and Kenya.
