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.

Planting Seeds for a Forgotten People
Meanwhile on the mountainous outskirts, the people of Nidiadzo have been all-but-forgotten, scratching out a living in a mountain valley. Like the rest of Zimbabwe they dream of a better future.
You can offer the people of Nidiadzo that hope by building them a school. Join them in the village for a fortnight. Share their hopes and dreams – and work with us to make some of them a reality.
