What is the WELC Safety Awards?
Women, Elderly & Children Safety Awards (WELC Safety Awards) founded in December 2022, occurs every year – January, July & September, in which any Institutions or Organizations can participate for free, and get recognitions for their efforts towards supporting UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, and making the world a safer place for women, elderly, and children.
Our Goals
- To Encourage Academic Campuses to Organize Campus Safety Awareness Programmes.
- To instill Moral Education in Students that will prepare them to live a Healthy and Peaceful Life.
- To Prepare them to tackle a danger, by carrying safety tools like flashlights, pepper sprays, etc, and configure their mobile phones with Emergency Contact numbers and having installed Safety Software Apps on their phones, as a Precaution.
As we live in the world of insecurities, it is everyone’s necessity to be brave and courageous to raise their voice against violence, and it’s in our hands to create a crime-free safe world.
All kinds of violence can be prevented, if we properly educate and create safety awareness among the younger generation, and make use of the appropriate safety tools.
