MakeSafe International is a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to removing explosive hazards and building first responder networks in areas that lack prehospital care services.
Our Story:
MakeSafe International was co founded in March of 2015 by a Service-Disabled United States Marine Corps Veteran and an Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician. Unable to accomplish the goals we had hoped to achieve in the military, we decided to set out and carve our own path. After many years spent hearing stories of children being killed or maimed by unexploded ordnance in Africa and reading reports of areas in dire need of improved emergency medical services systems, we realized we were finally in a position that would allow us to do something about it.
We began planning a mission to provide medical and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) services to good people and governments around the world who would otherwise have difficulty affording such services from existing companies. Soon expenses for equipment, training, travel and medical supplies began stacking up. When faced with these facts, we quickly realized that we could make little difference and would be placing unnecessary risk upon ourselves if we attempted this mission without support. Finally, after countless hours of planning and research, we decided that our best possible course of action was to start a non profit.
In 2016 we established contact with two other nonprofits, Trek Medics International and the Tanzania Rural Health Movement. Together we began planning to take operations to Tanzania, Africa. Our mission is to assist rural villages in the establishment of EMS systems using the Beacon 2.0 dispatch system created by Trek Medics International.
We have since set up our international headquarters in Tanzania. So far we have trained twenty first responders. Among these twenty responders, ten were Mwanza firefighters and ten were motorcyclists with the Mwanza Community First Responder team.
