Mayday Rescue’s core belief is that the most resilient communities are those that are able to help themselves. We are a non-profit organisation and our mission is to save lives and strengthen communities. We provide training, equipment, capacity building, outreach, and advocacy services to grassroots emergency response organisations in communities entering, enduring, or emerging from conflict, instability and disaster.
