MISSION: "B.R.A.V.E. Foundation, improving fire and life saving services in developing countries."
PURPOSE: The B.R.A.V.E. Foundation is a volunteer driven organization seeking to improve the efforts of firefighters and medical personnel in developing countries to become self-sufficient by providing access to progressive training programs, efficient facilities, and functional equipment.
Since 1996, members of the B.R.A.V.E. Foundation have organized dozens of volunteer training teams that have travelled to Guatemala. These efforts have significantly increased the ability of the bomberos to provide pre-hospital emergency medical care to the sick and injured in this poor country. Medical supplies and fire fighting equipment, as well as training materials are provided along with specialized training. Members of the B.R.A.V.E. Foundation assisted with the establishment of an Emergency Medical Technician Program and transportation system throughout the country which is training firefighters in pre-hospital medical care, required to reduce pain and suffering, and providing transportation to local hospitals.
