only when the
plane comes
Whether it's in response to earthquakes in Indonesia,
or famines in Africa, MAF is there - providing transportation,
logistics, and communications in times of disaster and crisis.
We need your help to provide for ongoing needs in
countries like Indonesia and Angola, while enabling us to respond to
emergencies in other countries at a moment's notice.
You can help to keep our planes flying by providing
for our Flight Fund.

Every three minutes, an MAF plane will take off or land; bringing
help, hope, and the Good News of Jesus Christ to isolated people in
one of more than 2,000 locations in over 36 countries worldwide.
In places left unreachable due to natural disaster or war, light
aircraft like those used by MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship) are
the only safe and effective way to transport people and supplies.

bringing emergency relief
When disaster strikes, MAF is able to provide the kind of
‘first on scene’ response that only light aircraft can
provide. Whether surveying a disaster area or delivering
food to refugees caught behind a war zone, MAF is there.
When a devastating tsunami hit the west coast of Indonesia
in 2004, MAF was able to deliver emergency rations, shelter
materials, and medical personnel and supplies within hours
instead of days.
Maintaining a constant ‘flight readiness’ is critical in
emergency situations where minutes saved can mean the
difference between life and death for someone in need.
Your support of MAF will help keep our planes flying.

help for the helpless
In the vast and isolated expanses of Africa, Latin America,and the
Far East, millions live beyond the reach of traditional
transportation.
The
hunger of these people can be both physical and spiritual. It’s for
them that MAF exists; making thousands of flights each year that
bring vital supplies to those in need. Through partnerships with
hundreds of relief and development agencies and thousands of local
clinics, missionaries, and churches, MAF is bringing help, hope, and
health to the ends of the earth.
Your support can help children like
Charles - caught in the crossfire of civil unrest
and war.

Dad's helper

Since her mother died, ten-year old Angelina has had to
look after the family house in southern Sudan.
Her father Jing had suffered for a month with malaria.
He was unable to leave his bed, dehydrated, in severe pain, and facing
possible death.
Treatment in the traditional Neur fashion - cutting his
forearm - had failed. Angelina struggled to help friends carry her
sick father in a hammock for an hour to reach the Christian Mission Aid
clinic at Keew.
'He is better,' says a relieved Angelina.
Surrounded by swamps and impassable by road, the Keew
clinic would not exist without the support of MAF and the financial help
of friends like you. |

Meet Charles Okwera
5 year old Charles Okwera lives in a small village (Omiya
Pacwa) with his mom and her family.
One night the rebels attacked the village and Charles and
his mom when able to run away.
They climbed on a rock, but the rebels were shooting and
Charles fell from the rock. Charles could not walk anymore or keep his
head up. He was totally lame.
In the hospital they did a pin traction on the head and
now he can keep his head up again. Also the legs are improving with
physiotherapy. Charles received one unit of blood.
Kalongo hospital receives blood from Nakasero blood bank.
MAF flies the blood to the hospital. Besides blood MAF flies medicines
and medical staff.
It is not possible to use the roads around Kalongo.
The people in Kalongo live in constant fear of the rebels. They know
what cruelties can happen.
All the staff at the Kalongo hospital are so grateful for
the work of MAF. They say that Kalongo hospital would not have
survived without the help of MAF.
In this time MAF is an encouragement for them and the
contact with the world around them.
Your support can help children like
Charles - caught in the crossfire of civil unrest and war.
