All About Mission Direct

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.

The gift of learning for a forgotten people

The Muslim Yawo people live in the mountainous region to the East of Lake Malawi. They are a marginalised race, living miles from any tarmac roads or any proper development. They have been truly left behind.
