WE ARE THE MEDLIFE MOVEMENT

MEDLIFE is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that partners with low-income communities in Latin America and Africa to improve their access to medicine, education, and community development projects. In order to achieve the ultimate goal of a world free from the constraints of poverty, we empower students and volunteers to become advocates for change by creating on-campus Chapters, volunteering in Service Learning Trips, and supporting the Moving Mountains giving program. With this support, MEDLIFE hires and trains local staff to provide high quality 24/7/365 patient care, community development projects, and educational workshops to empower communities in need.

 

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to build a worldwide Movement empowering underserved communities in their fight for equal access to healthcare, education, and a safe home.

 

OUR VALUES

• Listening:  Our priorities are driven by the communities we partner with.

• Understanding Root Causes, Sustainable and Value Added Solutions: we work to understand the root causes posed by poverty and create sustainable and quality solutions.

• Fighting Structural Violence and Providing A Preferential Option for Lower Income Communities: We provide high-quality services to the poor, not services slightly better than what they are accustomed to.

• Collaborative & Educational Volunteering:  Service Learning trips help to empower volunteers to make a sustainable difference as well as educate them about the cultures and lifestyles of the people they are serving. 

• Bridging Gaps in Public Services Through Public & Private Partnerships:
  We improve on current models of charitable work by implementing public and private service partnerships that provide holistic solutions for lower income communities

• Transparency:  Inspiring donor confidence.

• Leadership Development: Identifying leaders at home and abroad and providing the training and skills to grow the Movement in their community.
