What We Do
Working in partnership with hundreds of other Christian & relief organisations, MAF enables practical help, physical healing & spiritual hope to be delivered to some of the world’s most remote & inaccessible communities. MAF flies to more destinations than the six largest airlines in the world combined!
Inaccessible Terrain
Flying onto desert & jungle airstrips, lakes & rivers, tracks & roads, MAF’s light aircraft & our pilots go the extra miles to provide a lifeline.
Disaster Relief
Cyclones, typhoons & earthquakes can devastate the world’s poorest communities in climate-vulnerable areas like the Philippines, Bangladesh & parts of Brazil. Surveying the damage from the air is the first step in getting relief where it is needed & MAF can be operational within hours, getting precious people & supplies where they are most needed so the rebuilding can begin.
Conflict Zones
When conflict arises, we evacuate NGOs to safety. Often the aftermath can mean there are thous&s of people displaced. Living in fear, they face hunger & isolation. MAF flies in food, shelter & healthcare to those in urgent need of help.
Church Evangelists
MAF has had a vision to carry the Gospel to the ends of the earth since the organisation began in 1945. Today, MAF is still serving the Church & those who carry the Gospel, plant churches, encourage Christians in distant communities & translate the Bible into the ‘heart’ languages of different people groups. Every year there are celebrations as a new Bible translation is flown into a remote village by MAF.
Education
Education opens up a world of possibility & a route out of poverty for people in the developing world. Whether it’s flying children to remote school in PNG, school teachers in Arnhem Land, supporting NGO projects that help keep girls in school in South Sudan, or ferrying text books & exam papers, MAF is helping to sow hope into the next generation & open up opportunities for children & adults in their own communities.
Peace-Making
MAF helps to facilitate the work of partner organisations in bringing together those with opposing views to rediscover their shared humanity – promoting forgiveness & reconciliation within communities. We’re honoured to be part of the sensitive process of peace-making, through bringing together those who want to lay aside their differences, & the peace-builders who help them find ways to do so.
