2024 Chama Award Recipients: Mission Partner

Africa Fire Mission reaches thousands of people all around the world. From face-to-face instruction in Africa to our weekly online trainings, our impact is possible thanks to the generous support of our volunteers, instructors, and partners.

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.

On October 12th, 2024, Africa Fire Mission will honor Matthew 25: Ministries at our annual fundraising event, the Chama.


2024 Mission partner

Africa Fire Mission partners with organizations around the world to provide support to the fire service in Africa. These partnerships allow us to create new strategies in fire safety advocacy, gear distribution, and fire prevention training. Through collaboration, AFM and our partners can empower more communities and increase our impact!

Matthew 25: Ministries - 2024 Mission Partner

Matthew 25: Ministries reached out to Africa Fire Mission in 2023 to learn about our ministry and how we might partner together for first responders. Immediately, we were able to see the potential to advance AFM’s ministry through a partnership with Matthew 25: Ministries. Since that time, Matthew 25: Ministries has saved AFM expenses of over $15,000 through donations for medical supplies, protective gloves, and eye protection for firefighters we serve in Africa. Additionally, they have partnered with us to ship a container to Kherson, Ukraine. This container included 400 sets of firefighter PPE together with other medical and first responder supplies that will allow firefighters to replace some of the equipment that has been destroyed in the war against Ukraine.

Africa Fire Mission focuses on increasing fire safety and education across Africa, equipping local fire departments with essential training and resources. Meanwhile, Matthew 25: Ministries provides humanitarian aid and disaster relief worldwide, addressing immediate needs and fostering long-term development. By collaborating, the two organizations expand their reach and effectiveness; Africa Fire Mission leverages Matthew 25: Ministries’ extensive logistics network to deliver fire safety equipment and educational materials more efficiently. At the same time, Matthew 25: Ministries benefits from the specialized knowledge and on-the-ground expertise of Africa Fire Mission, enabling them to better serve communities in crisis by addressing fire-related hazards and safety needs.

Together, we create a comprehensive support system that enhances community resilience and safety, making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve!

Thank you, Matthew 25: Ministries, for your commitment to improving the well-being of communities around the world and for partnering with AFM. We look forward to serving with you in the years to come!
