From the Caribbean to Central Asia, MAI partners in 2025 served more than 2,000 active communities across 30+ countries. Every region is at a different stage. Every partner faces a different set of conditions. What holds across all of them is the same pattern: people who have received something choosing, at real cost, to pass it on.
Our work and partnerships is fluid. Projects and collaborations ebb and flow. Our long term goal in each community is to establish ârootednessâ in which MAI partner input and training is no longer needed. Statistics mentioned below are current as of the end of 2025.
"Influencing countries" refer to countries in which we engage unfunded partners (churches, NGOs, institutions) through vision-casting and coaching.
