Atlantic Pacific International Rescue is an NGO with a simple purpose: we provide lifeboats where there are none.

“Drowning is a serious and neglected public health threat claiming the lives of 372,000 people a year worldwide. This death toll is almost two thirds that of malnutrition and well over half that of malaria – but unlike these public health challenges, there are no broad prevention efforts that target drowning” (World Health Organisation)

Atlantic Pacific exists to tackle this crisis and eliminate death by drowning by providing Lifeboats and trained crew to areas of need.

We work with communities around the world who do not have a water rescue service but find themselves in areas vulnerable to flooding and natural disasters. We supply preventative lifesaving assets including bespoke rescue boats, mobile lifeboat stations and a complete training package for the local crew. We also deploy rapid response highly trained crew in emergency water rescue situations.

We work with local schools and young people in London to teach lifesaving skills, but also provide the ability for them to join us in helping other communities in drowning prevention.

We operate regardless of political context, out of a universal respect for human life.
