First Aid Gestures

SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT A majority of Togolese are unaware of the simple gestures to help the victims of a road accident or other incidents. Everyday many accidents occur in the cities and villages of Togo. Realising that the situation is increasingly alarming, NGO ASTOVOT sets up the project "Gestures of first aids" which consists of raising awareness and training especially the moto-drivers “Zémidjan” and other road-users on life-saving skills (traumas, bleedings, and cardiac arrests). This isn't just about training the beneficiaries but also about preventing, limiting or excluding an imminent danger and to teach them how to alert emergency services. AIMS OF THE WORKCAMP - Training volunteers on the modules of "gestures of first aids"; - To raise awareness and to train the moto-drivers and other road-users; - To organize an event to raise awareness at a public place WORK IN THE PROJECT - Preparing the modules of training and awareness - raising with volunteers and coaches; - Identification of the places for training and awareness; - Implementation of the program. The gestures consist of stopping bleedings, avoiding cardiac arrest, to threating wounds and burns
