Protecting Thailand's Future.
One Helmet at a Time.
Our Mission is simple: We conduct road safety education in schools, distribute free TIS Certified helmets and reward children for wearing their helmets.
The Urgent Reality on Thailand's Roads
Motorcycle accidents are a leading cause of death and injury in Thailand,
especially for our children. The statistics are staggering.
Highest Fatality Rate
Thailand has one of the world's highest road traffic fatality rates, and the highest for motorcycle-related deaths, with nearly 60 deaths a day.
Children at Risk
Tragically, around 2,500 children and young people die in motorcycle accidents each year. Many of these deaths are preventable.
A Demographic Challenge
With Thailand facing a rapidly declining birth rate, protecting the next generation is more critical than ever for the country's future.
Prevention is Key
A staggering 84% of motorcycle injuries are preventable with the proper use of a quality helmet. It's the single most effective way to save a life.
The Ongoing Crisis: A Live Look
These numbers are not static. They represent real children and a future we must protect. The counters below update in real-time based on 2025 statistics for Thailand.

Thailand's Economic Time Bomb
Thailand's current population is ~72 million. With a low birth rate and the current rate of preventable accidents, the projection is catastrophic.
76,000+ Disabilities / Year
A child's disability often forces a parent to leave the workforce to become a full-time caregiver.
2,500+ Deaths / Year
Tragically removing future workers, consumers, and taxpayers.

Rick Brown
Founder, Helmet Heroes Thailand
Our Founder
"I was bullied as a teen, my brakes were sabotaged and I ended up left for dead in a ditch. I wasn't wearing a helmet and have suffered from spinal trauma and PTSD ever since."
"I live in Thailand, this is my community and I saw a problem I needed to solve. Helmet Heroes was born from a simple belief: every child deserves to be safe. This isn't just a charity; it's a community-driven mission to protect the future of this beautiful country, one child and one helmet at a time."
