Mission
"Our mission is to help families achieve greater freedom from the constraints of poverty, empowering them to live healthier lives.
We aim to achieve this goal through partnering with motivated individuals in poor communities working to improve their access to MEDs: Medicine, Education and community Development. MEDLIFE believes access to quality healthcare is a basic human right."
