This initiative specifically targets primary school children, who represent some of the most vulnerable road users.

The schools chosen for the second phase in Gaborone are Boswa Primary School, Marulamantsi Primary School, Tsholofelo Primary School, Lesedi Primary School, and Ledumang Primary School.
