About SAFIRE -Southern Alliance For Indigenous Resources

Established in 1994, Southern Alliance for Indigenous Resources (SAFIRE) is a regional non governmental organisation whose main focus is to improve rural livelihoods and resilience through the sustainable utilisation, commercialisation and management of natural resources.

SAFIRE promotes initiatives that enable rural communities to achieve food security, cope and adapt to the adverse effects of disasters such as climate change induced droughts, floods and the changing patterns of rainfall and other weather conditions. This is realised through community-led projects on the utilisation and commercialisation of natural resources, conservation farming and integrated pest management, rehabilitation of old irrigation schemes in drought prone areas of the country and linking the farmers and producers to the market for crops and natural products.
