First Aid Africa

Who we are

First Aid Africa is an international charity which promotes and provides sustainable first aid training across sub-Saharan Africa. We currently operate in six countries, including Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia, to bridge unequal access to basic healthcare.

Each year, our training is delivered by local programmes supported by Scottish Government funding as well as participants of our international volunteering programme, operating through our First Aid Africa regional offices. Instructors from the international community are given specialist training before joining our staff and work with local volunteers in one of our partner countries.

As well as direct training for approximately 5000-8000 people each year, we also provide learning resources and training materials for a variety of organisations, as well as mentoring new first aid trainers ensuring the next generation of instructors lead the way for years to come.
