The Dominican Republic is a beautiful country with wonderful sandy beaches, vegetation, and friendly people. During your two-week trip you will have the unique opportunity to see the real Dominican Republic – not just the view that the tourists see of the beaches and palm trees. Sadly, life for many people involves serious poverty and hardship.
During your trip, you get the opportunity to help improve the lives of many people here. It is a varied and exciting program, with something for everyone.
Please note that the trip dates may vary a day either way due to flight availability.
Mission Direct continues its partnership with The Samaritan Foundation in the Dominican Republic, helping to bring practical support and long-term hope to families living in poverty.
In 2027, teams will return to Grace Village, a growing community development in Puerto Plata, where work will contribute to the ongoing construction of safe, permanent homes for families. Working alongside local builders and community members, teams will take part in practical building projects that support the wider vision of creating a stable and sustainable community.
For many families, safe housing is still out of reach. This project is part of a long-term effort to change that reality, providing not just shelter, but dignity, security and a foundation for the future.
Make a difference in 2027! Join us in the Dominican Republic and be a part of something truly special.
