Mission

The Flagstaff International Relief Effort (FIRE) provides resources and support to populations at risk in developing countries impacted by poverty, political instability, and natural disasters. FIRE places aid directly into the hands of the people who need it most.

Background

Flagstaff International Relief Effort (FIRE) is a non-profit, non-religious, non-partisan, grassroots organization registered in both the United States and Mongolia. Our efforts are currently focused in Mongolia. FIRE delivers aid directly to those who need it most, eliminating middlemen and corruption as much as possible.

Since 1999 FIRE has completed seven distribution trips, shipping a total of nine 40-foot containers filled with donated winter clothing, medical supplies, and educational materials. We have personally distributed 60 tons of winter clothing to over 50,000 individuals, and 80 computers and 6,000 English-language library books to one dozen schools throughout Mongolia. Additionally, over the last decade FIRE medical volunteers have conducted trainings with more than 400 Mongolian medical professionals around the country, and delivered more than $630,000 worth of medical supplies to thirty-six clinics and hospitals countrywide. To date, FIRE projects have provided aid in 12 of Mongolia's 21 provinces. More >

We are expanding our orthopedic training program in Mongolia in an effort to outreach to urban and rural populations. With proper treatment many orthopedic trauma injuries can heal completely, allowing the injured to return to a normal and productive life. This program will ultimately reduce disability and associated poverty in Mongolia due to traumatic orthopedic injuries. We hope that our influence can do some real good in the medical community in Mongolia. more info
