We won’t stop until no community is cut off
Over 1 billion people live cut off from healthcare, education and opportunity
For some families, the nearest clinic or school is a three‑day walk away
In extreme isolation, a 45‑minute flight can replace 65+ hours of treacherous travel
At nine months pregnant, Marcia knew something was terribly wrong. With intense pain, she walked four hours through the jungle to the nearest clinic. There, she learned her life and her baby’s were at serious risk.
She needed an urgent transfer, but the journey by ferry would take hours she didn’t have. That’s when MAF received the call.
A re-enactment, inspired by true events.
Pilot Ping flew to remote Atauro Island and brought her to the hospital in just fifteen minutes – saving both Marcia and her newborn daughter, Francelina.
Two lives were saved because there was a pilot. Because the aircraft had fuel. Because someone, somewhere, made that flight possible with a donation.
Remote communities face life‑or‑death challenges every day.
But with an MAF pilot, a fuelled plane, and donors like you…
Thinking about becoming an MAF pilot?
We offer dedicated training schemes designed to equip future pilots and engineers with the technical skills, cross‑cultural experience, and mission‑focused mindset needed to serve in remote regions.
Whether you’re just starting your aviation journey or looking to advance your qualifications, there’s a pathway for you.
