Our Vision
As a result of these and other devastating fires, SAFMA Schools Project has conducted primary and secondary research into training youth in Fire Safety and Fire Awareness.
The fire training and fire awareness project is a community based educational project, directed at learners grades 9-12 in high schools that are primarily under-funded and under resourced.
SAFMA Schools Project intends to train 20 learners in each of the 600 high schools in the Western Cape. Most of which are in previously disadvantaged areas. We are targeting as many learners as we can train in the next 5 years.
