Pilots on a mission

Joost de Wit and Ruth de Wit - van der Ploeg gave up their airline pilot careers at KLM to serve people in need.

Together with their children Naud and Annemijn, they live in Kenya and fly as voluntary bush pilots for Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) to bring help, hope and healing to the most isolated places in Africa.

Mission Aviation Fellowship

MAF brings medical aid, humanitarian aid, development aid and supports missions through aviation and technology. Every five minutes an MAF plane lands or takes off somewhere in the 26 poorest countries of the world. Since January 2024, Joost and Ruth are flying airplanes to offer help and hope to others in Kenya & South-Sudan. Discover all about their mission and how you can support on this website.
