Safe Kids Durham County
Durham County Safe Kids was established in 1989 as a way to reach parents in Durham County to provide vital information related to the safety of their children. Our vision is to prevent childhood injuries through education.
We believe kids should grow up safe, healthy and injury free!
Preventable Injuries are the #1 Killer of children in the U.S.
Every year 8000 families lose a child from preventable injury. These families lives are changed forever.
Safe Kids Durham County is a non-profit agency located in Durham, NC. As preventable injuries are the leading cause of death in children within the U.S. our mission revolves around providing injury prevention education to the families of our community. Safe Kids Durham County operates under the 501C3 umbrella of the Duke University Hospital and the Duke University Hospital Trauma Program.
