Africa Fire Mission leverages our knowledge of the fire service, nonprofits, humanitarian development, social justice, public administration and social work to create unique and innovative transformation in the fire services and communities where we are working.
+ What Outcomes Are We Expecting?
The Success of our activities can be measured by the following transformational indicators. These are the outcomes that are consistently seen in mature development around the world, and what we are looking for in the lives of those we serve. We know that this transformation can only be accomplished with long term commitment to the fire communities where we work.
