Mission Direct - Volunteers helping the world's poor
Dominican Republic
(Nikoli) couldn't believe he was getting a home with a bedroom and a bathroom… When we bought beds, a curtain and pots and pans he was in tears, and so were we.

Mission Direct is working on a project to provide housing for families living in slums – often on a rubbish tip. So far they have helped to build fifty basic houses, and lent a hand as the delighted families moved in.
The keys to a new life
Do you want to feel a warm sense of achievement at the end of your fortnight off?
Try this: come with Mission Direct and build a new home for a family. As a team you will work with contractors to complete an entire house. When it is complete you will hand over the keys to the new owners. Then you will move their possessions out of their previous ‘house’ – usually a rat and snake-infested shack made of sticks and rubble. Then at the end of the you can cool off in the sea or the hotel pool – you deserve it!
