Flying help, hope & healing to the world's most isolated people
Millions of people cannot access medical care, clean water, education, disaster relief and other basic needs simply because it is too dangerous or time-consuming to reach them.
In 1945, MAF started as the dream of two Kiwis. Today, Mission Aviation Fellowship is the world’s largest humanitarian air operator. For over 75 years, we have been flying light aircraft over jungles, mountains, deserts and hostile areas to bring help, hope, and healing to the world’s most isolated people.

HOW MAF HELPS
Give Education to End Poverty
Right now, only one in three children in Papua New Guinea complete their primary school level education.
Children might dream of a life beyond their village, but without education, statistics say their story will be one of sickness, hunger, violence, child labour, or even forced marriage to provide for their families.
Education is one of the most significant ways we can bring lasting impact to their lives, families and communities; ending the generational cycle of poverty.
But without MAF flights there will be...
No teachers to teach, no learning materials to learn, no training for teachers, no building supplies for classrooms, and no future for children in isolation.
Will you give today to end generational cycles of poverty for children in Papua New Guinea?
You can change futures, transform communities & leave a lasting legacy by giving a donation today.
