'''First Aid Africa''' is a non-profit organization that provides [[first aid]] training and equipment to communities in [[Sub-Saharan Africa]]. The organization's mission is to empower individuals and communities through first aid knowledge and skills, thereby reducing the number of preventable deaths and injuries.

== History ==
First Aid Africa was founded in 2009 by Sam Abrahams, a former [[paramedic]] from the United Kingdom. The organization started its operations in [[Uganda]], and has since expanded to other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including [[Kenya]], [[Malawi]], and [[Tanzania]].

== Programs ==
First Aid Africa runs a variety of programs aimed at improving first aid knowledge and skills in the communities it serves. These include:

* '''Community First Aid Training''': This program provides basic first aid training to community members, with a focus on common medical emergencies in the region, such as [[snake bites]], [[malaria]], and [[childbirth]] complications.

* '''School First Aid Training''': This program targets schools, providing first aid training to teachers and students. The aim is to ensure that every school has at least one person who is trained in first aid.

* '''First Aid Kit Distribution''': First Aid Africa also distributes first aid kits to communities and schools. These kits are tailored to the specific needs of the community, and include items such as [[bandages]], [[antiseptics]], and [[mosquito nets]].

== Impact ==
Since its inception, First Aid Africa has trained over 100,000 people in first aid, and distributed thousands of first aid kits. The organization's work has been recognized by various international bodies, including the [[World Health Organization]].
