The Ugandan people have taught me that happiness is not measured by possessions - it comes from a loving family, a community and making the most of what you have.
Clare Truter - Uganda volunteer
In 2012
Our focus in Uganda continues to be children, young people and education. The youngest generations must not lose their chance of a stable, happy prosperous future because of what Uganda has suffered in the past.
Mission Direct currently works on projects in two areas: join us in Rukungiri to help us build school buildings for young people desperate for the chance of an education. In Kumi you can help us set up and build income generating projects to support 40 special homes for AIDS and war orphans, giving them a family life that they long for desperately.

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.

Don’t worry – be happy!
"I think I will be more grateful and happier now" - Uganda volunteer
When we ask our volunteers what they have learned from their time in Uganda, they say things like ‘to be happy and enjoy life’. Time and again, volunteers return transformed by the warmth and upbeat natures of Ugandans, in spite of their circumstances.
