I’m excited to share that Africa Fire Mission is partnering with Project HAND UP to teach more children about fire safety!

In 2019, our curriculum reached over 3,000 community members. Through this partnership, we estimate that our curriculum will reach 1 million children and mothers through a single TV show! Project HAND UP (PHU) is developing a new kids TV show for children 5-12 years old based on an existing set of characters called Dr. Pamoja and Bali. Based in Kenya, Project HAND UP will provide families with informative and engaging educational content pertaining to fire safety.

With the consultation on local educational directives from AFM and the technical knowledge and strong track record for children’s education from PHU, we propose to create five episodes on fire safety geared for the Kenyan context. These episodes will both be part of the TV show and also serve as stand-alone videos that AFM can use for their own education programs in perpetuity.

Together, we can teach children how to save lives--one episode at a time.

Thank you your part in the movement to provide fire safety for children!

Will you consider a donation as a part of AFM’s 2020 Chama to help us reach our $20,000 goal to fund this project?
