HRH The Princess Royal, Patron of international development organisation Transaid, recently visited the ‘Safe Way Right Way’ Driver Training Centre in Uganda to see the second phase of Transaid’s Professional Driver Training programme.
Her visit provided an opportunity to meet with both Transaid and Safe Way Right Way team members, who together are on target to train more than 750 HGV and PSV drivers before this latest two-year phase ends in April 2023.
Florence Bearman, Acting Co-Chief Executive of Transaid, said: “The Princess Royal was also interested to learn how we are promoting the benefits of hiring female drivers. Our target for the two years was to train 25 and we’ve already exceeded 40, with six months still to go!”
