We will be continuing to focus on offering help and hope the most vulnerable – emotionally and economically – of Freetown. We will continue our ties with the City of Rest community, who we have helped to re-house in the last couple of years.
You will be helping with basic construction and decoration tasks. You don’t need to be a skilled craftsman; just come ready to serve others.
Stray off the tourist trail…
In your free time you have the chance to experience an Africa that is far off the tourist trails. You can sample barbecued barracuda on the stunning unspoiled Burah Beach. You will also experience a trip of a lifetime to an unspoiled virgin rainforest.
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.

Whether you are wedging yourself in next to a woman with a chicken under each arm on the packed and noisy Freetown ferry, or listening to victims of the Civil War at the City of Rest drug rehabilitation centre, a trip to Sierra Leone will challenge and transform you. But just as important; the opportunities that you will have to change the lives and the circumstances of the people you meet are immense.
Sierra Leone is one of the World’s poorest nation. It is in recovery after a brutal civil war. But it is now safe and stable with a democratic government. However the people long for healing and restoration. Come with Mission Direct and become part of the healing process.
