For over 40 years MAF has served the people of Lesotho to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to mountainous isolated parts of the country, as well as access to food, medicine, and other necessities.

Our Operation

The Kingdom of Lesotho is a small, mountainous country located within South Africa. Lesotho is the only country in the world that lies entirely above 3,281 feet in elevation. While beautiful, this small African nation is crippled by poverty, famine, and HIV/AIDS.

To overcome the challenges of difficult terrain and lack of health care in remote villages, MAF operates 3 Cessna 206 aircraft, with 17 staff members working in partnership with local organizations and churches.

MAF’s ministry doesn’t end when a patient makes it to the hospital or returns to their village – Basotho Christians like Sefiri follow up on patients in remote villages by sharing the Gospel and extending support to medical staff and villagers.

In 2014, MAF began directly involving communities in airstrip maintenance, taking the opportunity to build relationships, share the Good News, and encourage the stewardship of remote airstrips by villagers.
