For our second year in Rio, we'll continue to build facilities for Cadi - working with them to help prevent the favela's children from being lured into the drug-trafficking world that runs these slums.

NEW LOCATION FOR 2020! Close to Sisophon near the border of Thailand is a small, very remote village where a community of 300 people is trying to break their poverty trap through education. Help us to build a school here.

NEW LOCATION FOR 2019! Join past MD staff Linda Lauermann and husband Daniel at House of Skills, which aims to upskill young adults and promote sustainability in The Gambia through education.

LAST CHANCE! The slums around Nairobi contain over half of the city’s population. Korogocho slum comprises seven communities called villages – all squeezed into one square mile. In the mornings you will be working with our local partner, Emmaus, on various building projects - including building new classrooms facilities for children here.

Moldova is one of the most vulnerable nations in Europe and poverty levels are high - especially in rural areas. It is also a major source country for human trafficking and female exploitation. In 2019 we'll be working with a safe house for young girls at risk as well as supporting an orphanage. 

Kumi in Eastern Uganda will give you a taste of the ‘real Africa’. The colours are bright, the welcomes are big, the wildlife is jaw-dropping and the scenery is breath-taking. However, underneath that traditional view, the need is significant. Help us give access to education for Kumi's generation of orphans.

Our UK missions are practical-based 3-day trips in London, Preston and Nottingham. We work alongside local charities carrying out practical work such as refurbishing properties, DIY, decorating and garden-makeovers.

Zimbabwe can be described as a country of contrasts; a land of outstanding natural beauty and a people of faith, yet a nation in need of support. The infrastructure here hasn’t kept pace with the growing population, leaving children in overcrowded classrooms, attending school in shifts, or not going at all.
