A little unnatural
When you "raise awareness" for something, that thing is usually a problem that needs to be fixed. Childproofing windows and staircases is not a problem, it's a solution. A more natural sentence might be:
He made numerous public service announcements to raise awareness for child injury, and the need to childproof windows and staircases.
