Safe Kids Georgia



Vision

The Vision of Safe Kids Georgia is for Georgia's children to have a safe place to grow and play, free from accidental injuries.

Mission

The mission of Safe Kids Georgia is to create an environment in Georgia where children 14 and under are free from traumatic accidental injuries through: community partnerships, advocacy, public awareness and distribution of, and education on the proper uses of, safety equipment.

The Problem: Accidental childhood injury
Accidental injury is the number one cause of death among children ages 14 and under in the United States. Also, each year one out of every four children needs medical attention for an accidental injury.

The Solution: Safe Kids
Safe Kids Georgia is a member of Safe Kids Worldwide, a global network of organizations dedicated to preventing accidental injury. More than 450 coalitions in 16 countries bring together health and safety experts, educators, corporations, foundations, governments and volunteers to educate and protect families.

Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta generously serves as the lead agency for Safe Kids Georgia, providing financial and in-kind support to the vital programs and activities that are preventing injuries and saving children across Georgia.
