Mission Aviation Fellowship

Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) partners with Kompiam District Hospital to fly medical teams to remote communities in Enga Province to foster hope for disease prevention, education and envisioning a brighter future for the children of the communities.

Through  MAF’s global network, two families from Denmark were sent to PNG to assist with the educating of the students at HCG.

For MAF, investing in HCG aligns with the vision and mission of MAF. The vision is to see isolated people change by the love of Christ and the mission is working to bring help, hope and healing through aviation.

In formalising the partnership, the Foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding with MAF Country Director, Todd Aebischer recently for the Senisim Pasin campaign. 

MAF is an international Christian organization serving remote communities through aviation and maximises technology to bring help and hope to people in some of the world’s most isolated areas. They have operated in the Papua New Guinea since 1951.

“Great news for the new year!” commented Todd Aebischer, Country Director of MAF PNG.

K494,000 of the grant is to provide flight subsidies for travel with MAF to/from destinations within Enga Province and K174,000 is to assist agencies in the delivery of rehabilitation supplies to other earthquake-affected communities.

MAF aircraft serve rural communities with hundreds of life-saving aeromedical retrievals every year, flying over 30,000 passengers, bringing tonnes of produce to market, and carrying relief and development materials to isolated airstrips.

Jimi MP, Wake Goi, presented a cheque to MAF during the weekend in Mt Hagen.

It was the part payment of a K2 million commitment to subsidise airfares for the people of Jimi within a four-year period.

The implementation of the scheme commences on the first week of November and a review would take place after three months’ time.
