Safe Kids China started in 1999, thanks to generous support from Johnson & Johnson. An online campaign to educate parents about home safety was the feature of Safe Kids Week in 2003.
More than 51,000 parents and children in 18 cities participated in China's Safe Kids Week 2005, from May 29 to June 4. Safe Kids Week educated parents and children about preventing accidental injuries through a series of indoor and outdoor child safety activities, including on-site doctor consultations and interactive safety games. Programs focused on fall-related injuries, the third leading cause of accidental injury deaths in the country and the number one cause of nonfatal injuries among urban children.
