Neftaly: Access to Fire Safety Equipment in Informal Settlements
Protecting Lives, Homes, and Communities
Informal settlements are often highly vulnerable to fire outbreaks due to overcrowding, flammable building materials, unsafe electrical wiring, and limited access to emergency services. Fires can spread rapidly, causing devastating loss of life, property, and livelihoods.
Neftaly is committed to enhancing fire safety in informal settlements by improving access to essential fire safety equipment and building community capacity to prevent, respond to, and recover from fire incidents.

Supplying affordable and easy-to-use equipment such as fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, fire blankets, and buckets to households and community centers. - Community Training and Awareness
Conducting workshops on fire prevention, safe cooking and electrical practices, proper use of fire extinguishers, and emergency evacuation procedures. - Establishing Local Fire Response Teams
Training community volunteers to act as first responders, improving immediate action when fires occur. - Collaboration with Local Authorities
Partnering with fire departments and municipal bodies to improve fire safety infrastructure and response services in informal settlements.
