Polio still hasn’t been eradicated in Papua New Guinea, and for many remote communities, the risk remains real!

When an outbreak hit, Kibsy and his team knew reaching people quickly was critical. But getting vaccines across impossible terrain wasn’t simple… that’s where MAF came in ✈️

From remote villages to emergency medical evacuations, this partnership is saving lives in more ways than one....Click the link below to read the full story!

Behind every flight is a person, a family, a community, people who deserve access to help, hope & healing, no matter how remote their village may be. ✈️💙

Let’s pray for Lesotho and that the food supplies recently delivered to clinics in Semenanyane, Thlenyaku, and Nohana will truly be a blessing, bringing strength, nourishment, and hope to those who need it most. 🙏

Pray also for the staff serving in these remote areas, that they would be encouraged and supported as they care for their communities!

Fuel isn't just a cost. It's what keeps hope in the air! ✈️💙

Right now, a global fuel crisis is placing immense pressure on MAF flights, with fuel prices in some locations increasing by more than 60%!! For isolated communities, this isn't just an inconvenience. It could mean delayed medical care, missed emergency evacuations, or being cut off from vital supplies when they're needed most.

Just $117 can fuel a 15-minute life-saving flight.

Every flight matters. Every dollar counts. And right now, your support can help keep MAF aircraft flying to the people who depend on them.

Will you help fuel hope today?

He lost his sight…but what happened after surgery changed more than one life. 👀💙

For five years, Ernest relied on strangers just to survive. Blindness had taken his freedom, his work, and even strained his relationships. But when a team of eye surgeons flew into remote Tanzania with MAF, everything began to change.

What no one expected was that restoring one man’s sight would also set another man free…Read the full article on our website now.

After decades of isolation, everything has finally changed for the Carteret Islands!! 🙌 MAF has helped install the first-ever HF radio system at Han Health Clinic, finally giving health workers a reliable way to connect with the mainland and respond faster in emergencies.

Alongside solar lighting and other practical help through the “Bringing Light to Bougainville” project, more than 2,000 people now have improved access to care.

It’s a simple change, but for this community, it means everything.

🚨 THERE'S A GLOBAL FUEL CRISIS....AND LIVES ARE AT RISK!

Aviation fuel costs have surged by over 60%, putting life-saving MAF flights in danger. For isolated communities across Papua New Guinea, Kenya, South Sudan and beyond, there are no roads, no nearby hospitals, and no backup when flights can’t happen. That means a mother in labour, a sick child, or a family in crisis could be left without help!!

Marcia’s story shows what’s at stake. Facing life-threatening pregnancy complications in Timor-Leste, she needed urgent care. Thankfully, an MAF flight got her to the hospital in time! That same 15-minute flight costs just $117 to fuel.

Will you help keep MAF aircraft flying? Your gift of $117 could fuel another life-saving flight and help reach someone who has nowhere else to turn. ✈️💙

For over two years, Rozalia lived without sight, relying on her granddaughter and others for even the simplest tasks. Today, she walks freely and lives with renewed joy, after a life-changing MAF flight brought surgeons to her region when she needed it most. ✈️

That same journey also restored sight and independence for many others in her community...read the full article to learn about the impact!
