So far away from home

At MAF, we’re doing all we can to help refugees rebuild their lives. Our partnership with ForAfrika provides healthcare, nutrition, education, social protection, water sanitation and ways for refugees to support themselves.
Fred Mutenyo is ForAfrika’s Country Director, and he loves flying with MAF.
‘It’s quicker and smarter!’ he says. ‘I love that we are genuinely helping. I put myself in the shoes of these other people because I also had a humble beginning. I know what it’s like being poor and vulnerable, so I like to see tangible results changing people’s lives.’

Betty Sabina and her children had to flee their home in Yei, a prosperous city in South Sudan, in 2018.
‘My husband died in the war – he was shot on the frontline,’ she says. ‘Since I came into contact with ForAfrika, I can now provide for all my kids. I didn’t have seeds to plant but they gave my family peanuts, beans, onions, cabbage, sesame, cow peas and aubergines.’
