About Uganda:
Although referred to as the Pearl of Africa, Uganda is subject to armed fighting among rebels, armed gangs, militias, and various government forces that extend across its borders from neighbouring countries; Uganda hosts 209,860 Sudanese, 27,560 Congolese, and 19,710 Rwandan refugees.
In Uganda, MAF not only delivers relief, aid workers, food and medicine to the refugees and other needy people, they provide missionaries with cost effective and reliable transport within the country and to Kenya, the Congo and Southern Sudan - the world’s newest and poorest country.
“In Uganda, 35% of the population lives in poverty.”
“There are fewer than 1.5 health care workers for every 1,000 Ugandans.”
Please consider partnering with us, as we are looking for monthly and one time support, and multiply the effectiveness of the more than 1400 organizations MAF partners with to get people, supplies and and the love of God to where it needs to be.
