About UsHi we're Ed, Kathy, Nathanael and Eliana, from the UK but serving with MAF in Liberia. After 15 years flying with the Royal Air Force (RAF), Ed left his job to work with MAF. We arrived in Liberia in December 2024 where Ed is now flying to some of poorest communities in remote locations - check out the 'road trip' video below to see why MAF is so needed there!

About MAF Liberia
MAF has operated in Liberia since 2015 and currently serves over 168 NGOs and mission groups working to bring hope to Liberia’s poorest, including those living in refugee camps along Liberia’s borders. Liberia’s 14-year civil war, claimed more than 250,000 lives and left the country in economic ruin. Today, around 80% of the population live below the poverty line and the terrible impact of the 2014-2015 Ebola epidemic is still being felt. Adding to the challenges in Liberia is an average rainfall of over 4.6 metres a year, which makes travel difficult as vehicles get stuck in thick mud, sometimes for days at a time, on the country’s unpaved roads.
