Mission Direct - Volunteers helping the world's poor
Specialist Trips Front Page
Experience the ultimate job satisfaction!
Each year we send skilled volunteers to work alongside our overseas project partners sharing their knowledge and expertise with local people in Sierra Leone, Uganda, Moldova and elsewhere.
Well trained medical, IT or teaching professionals are in short supply in poor and marginalised communities. And you can help change that!
By volunteering two weeks of your time with a Mission Direct specialist team you can share life changing skills with local nurses, doctors or teachers who are eager to learn. And, you can have a life-changing experience too by living and working amongst the poor.
Take a look at our list of specialist team opportunities and consider if you, or anyone else you know, would benefit from a trip like this.
Medical Missions
Are you an experienced healthcare worker? Nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals at hospitals, surgeries and clinics of Uganda, Zambia and Sierra Leone want to learn from you. By sharing your expertise with these professionals you are passing on a body of knowledge that will be used to heal and even save lives, long after you have returned home. No expertise in tropical medicines is required.
Rewired IT Teams
‘Re-wired’ has been equipping schools in Africa with computers and IT equipment since 2007. Our goal is to provide the same kinds of classroom facilities to children in Africa as our own children have in the UK. If you are an IT specialist could you help to install a network of computers at a school in Sierra Leone? Your efforts will build a lasting legacy.
Training Teacher Teams
Often teachers in Uganda, Zambia and Sierra Leone have to make a little go a long way. They have few books and teaching materials. To make things worse most of them have had very little training in how to teach effectively. If you are a trained teacher you have so much to offer these hardworking men and women. Better teaching skills mean more opportunities to inspire children and give them a better future.

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.
