Mission
FIRE works to improve health and development through value-centered, community-based programs encompassing cultural diversity and heritage.
Vision
Communities around the world are empowered with a higher quality of life through access to safe health care and sustainable resources for responsible development.
FIRE – Flagstaff International Relief Effort (FIRE Projects) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Flagstaff, Arizona, with a registered branch office in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Since 1999, FIRE has served remote and underserved communities throughout rural Mongolia. Since 2009, FIRE’s focus has been on liver health, with award-winning programs that evolve to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
FIRE’s sustainable, community-driven initiatives are culturally sensitive, targeting rural populations, and designed for replication in other countries. We collaborate with partners at local, national, and international levels, including government, civil society, and individuals.
Mongolia is the least densely populated country in the world. Rural Mongolia’s sparse population, limited resources, and logistical challenges are often overlooked by other organizations. FIRE provides critical testing, treatment, health, and educational support to these isolated communities, expanding access to care and saving lives. We remain adaptable and innovative, continually assessing and updating our programs based on lessons learned.
