Churches in Kenya are sacred places where people gather in large numbers, often without formal emergency preparedness. At Makinika Afrika, we have identified a major gap in how religious institutions approach safety. Our Church Safety Training program is specially designed to help faith-based communities prepare for fire emergencies, crowd management, medical situations, and evacuations. With a rise in public gatherings, it’s no longer enough to rely on prayer alone — churches need practical action plans.
Our training programs are tailored to different church sizes and settings, whether it’s a small local congregation or a mega-church with thousands of attendees. Makinika Afrika provides realistic drills and simulations for pastors, ushers, deacons, and safety volunteers. From CPR and first aid basics to fire extinguisher use and evacuation mapping, every module is designed to build confidence in managing emergencies. We believe every church team should be equipped to respond quickly and effectively in a crisis.
What sets us apart is not only the quality of our training but also our integration with essential safety equipment. We recommend our trusted supplier, Nairobi Safety Shop, for items like fire blankets, smoke detectors, signage, PPE kits, and evacuation tools. These tools, when used correctly, can mean the difference between life and tragedy. Churches can rely on our guidance to know exactly what gear is needed and where to place it for maximum effectiveness.
Beyond training and equipment, we believe in continuous learning. Our founder, Amb. Steve Mbugua, is a well-known voice in the safety industry and shares valuable insights, templates, and best practices for church safety on his blog. His work complements our mission by offering extra resources for pastors and church safety coordinators. Whether it’s a new government directive or a case study from a recent incident, the blog is an essential extension of our educational tools.
At Makinika Afrika, we are more than a Safety Training Firm in Kenya — we are safety advocates committed to protecting Kenya’s places of worship. Our goal is to help churches turn their safety protocols from passive policies into active life-saving actions. By combining expert-led training, trusted safety products, and a passion for impact, we’re raising the standard for church safety in Kenya and beyond.
