International Trips
JOIN US ON A MISSION TRIP. HAND-DELIVER HOPE
Mission trips have been a Sweet Sleep tradition since 2003, and we believe in the importance of these experiences for the women and children we serve, as well as the donors, volunteers, and champions God has called to this ministry.
Sharing God’s love and hope in Christ, and seeing His love manifest in the interactions between beneficiaries and volunteers create once in a lifetime experiences for both the children and our team members, and are a tangible way that God connects each of us from very different walks of life, but who are all equally loved and made in His image.
Visiting these locations is also a critical step in truly understanding poverty and the orphan crisis. We are very intentional about educating our volunteers in effective missions ministry, poverty alleviation, and being an impactful part of the solution.

Uganda – Take your VBS to Kampala
Take your VBS to Uganda! Journey with Sweet Sleep to provide bunk beds, Bibles, and mosquito nets to children who have been orphaned, abandoned, or rescued from dangerous living conditions, while also interacting with and investing in children at the Good Samaritan Children’s Home.
Team members will not only deliver beds, but also conduct VBS-style activities — Bible study, arts and crafts, music, and recreation while sharing the Gospel in fun and unique ways.
This trip is ideal for a cohesive group, such as from one church, which will allow for the group to easily plan and execute their own Kampala VBS!
Uganda – CO•OP Discipleship
Journey with Sweet Sleep to Kampala or Gulu, Uganda (or both!) to disciple and encourage members of our CO•OP (economic development) groups.
The CO•OPs consist of 10-12 adults who are caring for orphaned and vulnerable children. They work together to create a business and to develop spiritually along the way.
Team members will get a hands-on experience by doing some of the types of jobs the CO•OP members used to do, like clearing fields, washing clothes, or quarrying gravel, as well as learning about and participating in their current CO•OP business activities.
Team members will learn about the struggles and successes of the group members and engage in discipleship, encouragement, and evangelism within the groups, including Muslim members.
