Society for Assistance to International Firefighters SAIF Motto:
Amicitia fortis defendit
Friendship Protects the Strong WE NEED $20 THOUSAND TO SHIP IT TO GUATEMALA AND NICARAGUA!

WE HAVE ALREADY HAD OVER $2 MILLION WORTH OF FIRE AND EMS GEAR DONATED FOR OUR CAUSE IN AUSTRALIA AND CANADA. Firefighters in Guatemala and Nicaragua face the same risks and demands for service as their brothers and sisters in North America, but do so without the benefits of equipment and training enjoyed by those in Canada and the United States. The three fire departments we have initially chosen

to work with in Central America are staffed by dedicated professionals. As an example of the economic conditions they face, one department in Guatemala has firefighters who work 5 or 6 days a week, 24 hours per day, and receive about $60 per month in pay. We are focusing on the basic needs for these departments, their staff, and their families. Examples include batteries and tires for fire trucks, personal protective equipment for firefighters, training for firefighters, basic equipment such as hose and tools, and occupational stress supports for firefighters and their families. When you donate to SAIF, over 90% of your donation goes directly to the purchase of equipment and shipment of donated materials for these fire departments. The remainder of funds received by SAIF go to the basic legal and administrative costs of operating a registered Canadian Non-Profit Corporation, including the costs associated with on-line donations. ALL SAIF VOLUNTEERS PAY FOR ALL OF THEIR OWN TRAVEL COSTS WHEN DEPLOYED. SAIF Vision: We will collaboratively improve the safety of communities and first responders in developing nations. SAIF Mission: SAIF enhances community safety and public health in developing nations through training, resourcing, and supporting local emergency responders and public safety agencies. SAIF Motto: Amicitia fortis defendit; (friendship protects the strong)

We founded the Society for Assistance to International Firefighters (SAIF) in 2013. SAIF is a registered Canadian non-profit corporation, with a Board of Directors representing various sectors in Canada and Australia. In the past year we have obtained enough donations of high quality fire and EMS gear to outfit hundreds of firefighters and many fire and EMS departments in Nicaragua and Guatemala. We need one more thing....funds to ship the gear to Central America. Long story short....$20,000 will allow an estimated $2 million of "donations in kind" to be delivered to our fire/EMS brothers and sisters. Over 90% of your donation will go directly to shipping, and none of it goes to any individual at SAIF or anywhere else. Every member of SAIF pays for all of their own costs.
