FEATURE STORY

Uganda’s Refugee Crisis

When Rose Puru fled war-torn South Sudan with her family in 2018, she found safety in Uganda’s refugee settlements, but life remains a struggle. Now 24, Rose dreams of completing her education to support her family and community, yet poverty forced her to drop out.

Uganda is home to over 1.7 million refugees, with resources stretched thin. “The number of refugees here isn’t going down; it’s only increasing,” explains Ruth Jack, MAF’s Country Director for Uganda.

MAF partners with organisations like the Lutheran World Federation to ensure aid reaches remote settlements like Palorinya, using flights to bypass treacherous 14-hour road journeys, delivering essential support and hope to those in need.

Thank you! Fuel for Father’s Day 2024

Thank you to everyone who supported this year’s Fuel for Father’s Day campaign!

Check out this video with Josh Flynn from MAF in Arnhem Land to see the impact you’ve made.

With the incredible participation of people across Australia and over 530 churches, we raised around $270,000—enough to fuel our planes into 2025 with 1,800 hours of life-saving flights across 24 countries. That’s 35 hours of flying each week, bringing critical aid, medical care and hope to remote communities.

Your support means so much more than fuel; it’s a powerful way of transforming lives and sharing hope. Thank you!

THANKS FOR WATCHING!
UNTIL NEXT TIME!
