## What HumSafer does

HumSafer serves India's truck drivers, one of the largest yet most underserved segments of the national workforce, with one integrated model rather than isolated services:

1. **Health, The Suraksha Clinic:** OPD medical camps and free-medicine distribution for truck drivers, delivered with anchor donor Gulf Oil. Every driver gets a check-up, medicines and health awareness at no cost.
2. **Safety, Road-safety training:** On-ground awareness and training sessions at logistics yards and transport hubs. With 9 in 10 drivers untrained, this prevents crashes before they happen.
3. **Financial inclusion:** Equipping drivers with the knowledge and tools to manage and grow their money and to access formal financial services, often for the first time.

**The Driver Welfare Centre** is the fundable unit: a fixed on-ground centre at a truck terminus or transport hub that delivers all three pillars under one roof. This is the scalable unit a corporate funds through CSR: a measurable, branded, end-to-end driver-welfare programme in a single location.

## Where HumSafer operates

Headquartered in Pune, with active OPD camps in Mumbai, Kolkata and Sankagiri (Tamil Nadu), delivered at transport hubs and logistics yards across India.
