Changing lives, all over the world

All over the world, a driving licence opens the same doors: a job, independence, freedom. My mission: that these doors also open for those who are forgotten.

My vision

1.19 millionpeople die on the world's roads every year. 9 out of 10 deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries (WHO, 2023 report).

From Margny-lès-Compiègne to the whole world

“In Africa as in France, a woman who drives is a woman who can work, take her children to school, care for her family, make her own decisions. Training people to drive changes a life. Training the trainers changes a country.”

Jessica Broguy

Save lives

Road safety is learned from childhood. Raising awareness early prevents tragedies.

Build independence

A licence gives access to work. For women, it is often their first real independence.

Pass it on for good

Train instructors locally so that the knowledge stays, grows and is passed on without us.

An instructor explains the course to two people next to a car — From here to there, the same standards and the same support.

More than a licence, a new road.

The project in Côte d’Ivoire

A road safety and driving licence access project, built with Ivorian partners: a women's association, Women of Africa Côte d’Ivoire, and the Road Safety Office (OSER). First-phase objectives:

1000children in rural areas made aware of road safety

200women aged 18 to 40 trained in the highway code

30women supported all the way to a full licence, then more in phase 2

Three regions, towns and villages

Lagunes Dabou · Sikensi · AlépéSassandra-Marahoué Daloa · IssiaGôh-Djiboua Gagnoa · Lakota · Divo

A shared commitment

The women contribute to their training, according to their means, with payment in instalments. Grants are planned for the most vulnerable. Because a shared commitment is a commitment kept.

On the ground

Talks are under way with local authorities and economic players, in Côte d’Ivoire as in France.

A project to fund

The project is seeking funding. Every contribution counts: foundations, companies, institutions.

Indicative objectives, which may change with the partners and the funding obtained.

Passing on the profession

Training the trainers

Training one learner is good. Training those who will train thousands of learners is lasting. I want to have my driving instructor diploma recognised in several African countries and train instructors locally.
