Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, donors, and volunteers, Africa Fire Mission has made an amazing impact around the world in 2024. Consider supporting us to make a difference in 2025 and beyond!

Africa Fire Mission (AFM) is pleased to announce that it has received a grant from the Motorola Solutions Foundation, the charitable arm of Motorola Solutions. AFM will use this grant to support the funding for our Fire and EMS Training Symposium and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Distribution in Kenya. This event serves as an incredible opportunity to train members of the fire service and develop leaders. AFM team members will also prioritize the mental wellness of first responders by continuing the development for health and mental wellness programs for emergency personnel.

On October 12th, 2024, Africa Fire Mission held its annual fundraising event: the Chama! This fundraising event was created to raise funds and foster enthusiastic support for the fire service in Africa and around the world. The Chama serves as a celebration of the incredible accomplishments of the African fire service over the past year, as well as the dedicated volunteers and valuable partners that make these accomplishments possible. In total, the Chama raised over $30,000 for the fire service in Africa! We are grateful for all our guests, donors, and sponsors who contributed to our successful event.

In September 2024, members of the AFM team travelled to Kenya on a Mission Trip. The goal of this trip was to teach fire prevention lessons to children, teachers, and other community members across Nairobi, Kenya. In just ten days, over 20,000 individuals were taught potentially life-saving fire prevention lessons and tips.

Our partners are key to providing gear, volunteers, and logistical support to those we serve. We are so grateful for all the support we receive and would like to recognize a partner organization through our inaugural Mission Partner Award! This award recognizes a partner organization that makes significant contributions to AFM and, in turn, makes a substantial impact on the people that AFM serves.

Our volunteers and instructors assist with our programs, help unload and pack gear, and provide valuable training to firefighters in Africa. We are so grateful for all the support we receive and would like to recognize two of our supporters through our annual Volunteer and Instructor of the Year Awards! These awards were made to recognize individuals who make significant contributions to AFM and, in turn, make a substantial impact on the people that AFM serves.
