The mission of Operation Florian is to promote the protection of life amongst communities in need, worldwide, by the provision of equipment and training to improve fire fighting and rescue capabilities.

The fire service in Cape Verde is very limited and local firefighters have limited access to firefighting equipment and PPE to keep them safe. We are fundraising help support firefighters on the island of São Nicolau in Cape Verde.

Our team visited São Nicolau in 2019 and delivered firefighting equipment and provided training. However, there is more work to be done on the island. The next phase of our work will involve accessing and donating a fire appliance to firefighters in São Nicolau.
