Microlise marks 10-year partnership with transport charity Transaid

Telematics and transport solutions provider Microlise is celebrating 10 years of partnership with UK-based transport charity Transaid, having contributed £242,428.03 since becoming a corporate member in 2015.

The partnership has supported Transaid’s work improving road safety and access to healthcare across sub-Saharan Africa.

Over the decade-long relationship, Microlise’s contributions have included annual corporate membership fees, direct project support in multiple African countries, fundraising events, and fitting telematics to vehicles donated to Transaid’s partner training centres in Africa.

These initiatives have supported professional driver training programmes that improve fleet safety standards across the continent.

Caroline Barber, Transaid’s CEO, said: “We are incredibly proud to be celebrating 10 years of Transaid’s partnership with Microlise – a relationship defined by shared values, mutual respect and an unwavering commitment to making transport safer and more accessible in the communities we serve.

“Over the past decade, Microlise has not only provided generous financial support, but has also engaged their staff, customers, and wider network to champion our cause.

“From cycling challenges to event sponsorship, their involvement has had a truly transformative impact. Thanks to their steadfast support, we’ve been able to scale life-saving transport solutions across sub-Saharan Africa, train community health volunteers and professional drivers, and respond to some of the most pressing mobility challenges facing rural communities.”

Microlise’s support has helped deliver programmes in professional driver training and emergency transport services, with recent fundraising contributing to a programme enhancing access to maternal and child health services in remote areas of Zambia.
