The people of Grand Cess in south-eastern Liberia say they’re happy to see Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) planes again.

According to acting MAF Country Director, Leon Prinsloo: “We’re not just landing planes, we’re opening doors. MAF is committed to serving the most isolated, and Grand Cess is a clear example of how aviation can break barriers to healthcare, education and hope.”

For communities cut off by rough terrain and impassable roads, the return of our service again enables humanitarian workers, government staff and medical teams to reach inaccessible communities.
