This Christmas, help the 50,000 forgotten children of Uganda

Aid cuts risk at least 14 million deaths by 2030. 1 in 3 of these deaths will be children under the age of 5.

In Rhino Camp Refugee Settlement in northern Uganda lives 16-year-old Nyabuom. Just a child herself, she’s been forced into the role of raising her siblings in the absence of their mother who abandoned them over a year ago.

Nyabuom is fearful for her malnourished younger siblings; she doesn’t know how to save them from hunger amongst the aid cuts.

‘I don’t know if Mother will return or not,’ said Nyabuom. ‘I’m trying my best, but I need our [Mother] to come back to Uganda such that she can take this burden off my shoulders.’

Nyabuom is one of 50,000 displaced children in Uganda. By donating today, you are bringing life and hope to abandoned families, just like Nyabuom’s.

PLEASE DONATE NOW

Since the aid cuts at the beginning of 2025, people’s lifelines have dried up. The severe lack of food, clean water, and aid has left almost 2 million families starving and without hope – and in this time of desperation, many parents have fled.

Ruth Jack, Director of Africa Programmes, MAF says:

Mission Aviation Fellowship flights allow aid workers, donors, UN representatives, and diplomatic personnel to reach the affected areas and coordinate relief efforts – often saving hours of travel by road. Stories like that of Nyabuom are the reason why MAF are motivated to provide more flights to help abandoned children.

Please donate today. Any donation, no matter the size, will make a big impact, and could enable more vital MAF flights to support abandoned children and help bring a lifeline to those most in need. They’ve been abandoned… but not by MAF. Not by you.
