Southern Alliance For Indigenous Resources
Our Mission
To strengthen local communities to restore, manage and sustainably benefit from thriving ecosystems.
For over 30 years, SAFIRE has worked alongside rural communities to restore ecosystems and build sustainable, nature-based economies.
Our Core Values
What has kept us going for the last 30 years
Community at Heart
Every decision starts with what is good for the people SAFIRE works with. Not what looks good in a report.
Environmental Stewardship
Nature is not a backdrop. It is the core asset communities manage.
Accountability
SAFIRE owns its work and its mistakes. No corporate evasiveness.
Transparency & Honesty
SAFIRE communicates openly — with communities, donors, and partners.
Inclusivity
Women and youth are centred — not as targets, but as leaders and entrepreneurs.
Innovation
Solutions come from combining local indigenous knowledge with modern approaches.
