Sixteen missionaries had an incredible opportunity to engage with and inspire children in Tanzania after flying with MAF.

MAF Pilot Daniel Gill transported the team of sixteen missionaries hailing from the Community Church Virginia from Kenya’s capital to Migori Airport, the connection point for their onward journey to Tanzania by road. Travelling to Migori by air takes approximately 1.2 hours while an arduous overland journey would exceed eight hours.

MAF has truly been an invaluable support to us in terms of transportation, particularly for guests who travel long distances and are unaccustomed to extended road trips. The flights significantly shorten their journey, sparing them from an exhausting 8-hour ordeal.

Regina Chacha, the Co-founder of HopeCo, personally accompanied the group on this journey. She conveyed her profound gratitude for MAF's role in easing the logistical challenges for their guests.
