Direct Dialogue
We will hold live conversations on the road and at designated stop points, opening a direct community dialogue on enforcement and behavioral change.
49%
of all road deaths nationwide involve boda-bodas.
They are essential, affordable, and vital to our daily lives. Boda-bodas are at the heart of how we move, but this is a crisis we cannot solve alone.
The Mission
Flipping the Script on Road Safety.
For too long, boda-boda riders have been framed as the problem. On May 16, 2026, we are flipping the script. The Joe Walker Boda-Boda Walk is designed to engage directly with Uganda's most vulnerable road users.
We are walking with riders, to riders, and for riders — to empower them as the central agents of change in creating lasting road safety solutions.

What to Expect
A movement you can see and feel.
When we show up at a boda stage, we aren't there to lecture—we're there to listen, hand out safety gear, and walk shoulder-to-shoulder with the guys who ride these roads every single day.

Safety Sensitization
