During each 2 week trip, they helped to build homes, classrooms and clinics for the poor. They visited local hospitals and prayed with the sick. They taught local children songs and games. In their free time, they saw some amazing sights.
Many of them will tell you that their lives have been changed for the better by their experiences of working and living alongside some of the world's poorest people.
Join us and make enough friends and memories to last you a lifetime. You can come on your own, or with your friends or family. You are also welcome to bring along a whole group from your church or any other club and society.
You do not need any specialist skills, just a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in (although there are a number of specialist trips too, click here to learn about these).

Mission Direct gives ordinary people the chance to do extraordinary things around the world. In two weeks you will change the lives of some of the world’s poorest people. You can help to build a house, classroom or clinic. We discover people and groups doing remarkable things in their own countries. Then we provide them the people and resources that they need. We do this by enabling people like you, with two or more weeks to join our life-altering trips.
