Our Impact

Generous people like you fund the majority of MAF's work around the world.

You can directly meet the needs of isolated people worldwide and make an impact by giving towards specific projects and the people who make MAF's work possible.

Inaccessible Terrain

Flying onto desert and jungle airstrips, lakes and rivers, tracks and roads, MAF’s light aircraft and our pilots go the extra miles to provide a lifeline.

Disaster Relief

Cyclones, typhoons and earthquakes can devastate the world's poorest communities in climate-vulnerable areas like the Philippines, Bangladesh Brazil. Surveying the damage from the air is the first step in getting relief where it is needed, and MAF can be operational within hours, getting precious people and 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 thousands of people displaced. Living in fear, they face hunger and isolation. MAF flies in food, shelter and 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 and those who carry the Gospel, plant churches, encourage Christians in distant communities and 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 and 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 and exam papers, MAF is helping to sow hope into the next generation and open up opportunities for children and 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 and 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, and the peace-builders who help them find ways to do so.

MAF multiplies the effectiveness of over 1,400 organisations

“Without the vital services provided by MAF, RAM would be unable to reach the remote parts of PNG without huge difficulty. We, therefore, would like to give our thanks to MAF for a very long-lasting partnership which has greatly aided RAM’s ability to provide a service to the remote parts of PNG.”

- Tim Freeman, Rotarians Against Malaria (RAM), Papua New Guinea
