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 healthcare, education, and safe housing. 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 through traveling on Service Learning Trips and participating in on-campus Chapters.
A Service Learning Trip is a week-long educational journey to Peru, Ecuador, Tanzania, or Nicaragua, where volunteers work hand in hand with the local community on development projects, mobile medical clinics, and more. The trip allows volunteers to gain a deeper understanding of the root causes of poverty by personally connecting them with the communities that MEDLIFE supports.
