In addition, MAF provides weekly flights to six health clinics operated by Partners In Health (PIH). Nearly 200,000 people depend solely on LFDS and PIH for medical care.

MAF services enable the work of over 35 partner agencies, including Africa Inland Mission (AIM), Southern Baptist Mission, William J.
