In just 9 days, Empact will embark on a crucial Global Rescue Training Mission to Odesa, Ukraine. This mission marks a significant milestone in our commitment to empowering first responders worldwide with life-saving skills.
As our Executive Director, Jake Gillanders, prepares to board a plane to Ukraine on November 14th, we're not just packing bags – we're carrying the hopes and support of our entire community. This mission, made possible through our partnership with StaySafe US, is set to provide advanced rescue training to Odesa's brave firefighters.
But our Global Rescue Training Mission doesn't end in Odesa. It's just the beginning of a broader vision to expand our impact across the globe.
Why Ukraine? Why now?
Odesa, a resilient city just 30 miles from the front lines, faces daily challenges that most of us can hardly imagine. The skills we're bringing – advanced rope rescue and structural collapse techniques – are more than just training exercises. They're critical tools that can mean the difference between life and death in a city under constant pressure.
Our team will spend 10 days working alongside Odesa's firefighters, sharing knowledge, building relationships, and laying the groundwork for future collaborations. This isn't a one-time effort; it's the cornerstone of our expanded international training program.
From Odesa to the World
While our hearts are with Ukraine, our vision extends far beyond its borders. The Global Rescue Training Mission we're launching in Odesa is a model we aim to replicate in communities across the globe. Your support doesn't just fund this single mission – it fuels our ability to respond swiftly to future calls for help worldwide.
