About SaveLIFE Foundation
SaveLIFE Foundation (SLF) is an award-winning, independent non-profit organization committed to saving lives on roads across India and the Global South. By combining grassroots action with systems reform, SLF has been at the forefront of introducing landmark road safety innovations—such as India’s Good Samaritan Law and the Zero-Fatality Corridor (ZFC) model. Our work has helped reduce road crash deaths by up to 67% on some of India’s most dangerous highways and has been recognized by institutions such as the Skoll Foundation, World Bank, and Government of India.
