Mission Direct is a Christian charity that offers short-term overseas volunteering trips. It takes volunteers from the UK to work on community development projects around the world. Projects include helping to build and decorate school classrooms, low-cost homes and refuges.

Story

In October, I (plus 10 others from Bewdley Baptist) am going to the Dominican Republic.  Instead of sunning themselves on the beach, they will be working on a building site to build homes for Haitian refugees.

It only costs around £2,500 to take a family from a squalid shack to a decent home with running water, sanitation and electricity.  All the team are paying for their own travel and accommodation and every single penny raised will go to the building of homes for these refugees.

There is a four minute video that we have produced that shows the seen and unseen Dominican Republic and where we will be working (click on left or below).

Donating through justgiving is simple, fast and totally secure. your details are safe with justgiving - they will never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they send your money directly to Mission Direct and make sure gift aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
