Kunhadi

Kunhadi (Arabic " كُن هادي ", English "be calm") is a non-profit organization concerned with road safety in Lebanon.

As part of this project, and funded by USAid, Kunhadi launched campaigns to raise awareness about the dangers of drunk driving and speeding.

[7] In 2013 and 2014, Kunhadi collaborated with Alfa and organized two national campaigns[8] to raise awareness on the danger of using the phone while driving.

This unorthodox method of raising awareness against drunk driving came as a result of Kunhadi's work methodology that shies away from more classic ways of communication, to speak the language of youth.

The organization also follows up the installation with workshops to teach school students, staff members and parents, on the correct use of the safe crossing.

[citation needed] To fund both projects, Kunhadi resorts to fundraising events and partnerships with the private sector and grants from international organizations.

[citation needed] Every year, more than 850 people die on the road in Lebanon, making car crashes happening at night the number one cause of death among youth aged between 15 and 29.

To tackle this issue, Kunhadi introduced Save the Night, a comprehensive initiative managed and powered by Kunhadi, aiming to raise awareness of the risks of drunk and fatigue-driving; discouraging harmful and underage consumption of alcohol as well as improving safety standards at nightlife venues; hence decreasing car crashes happening at night.

In partnership with two companies from the private sector, Kunhadi installed ten "Nap & Go" spot labeled at a renowned gas stations around Lebanon.

[citation needed] Kunhadi launched its program with four ambassadors: actor and screenwriter Georges Khabbaz, actress Carmen Lebbos, dancer and choreographer Alissar Caracalla and talk show host Tony Baroud.
