Medicine Education and Development for Low Income Families Everywhere (MEDLIFE)

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. Our ultimate goal is to one day reach a world free from the constraints of poverty by empowering students and volunteers to become advocates for change by becoming leaders in our chapter and supporting the Moving Mountains giving program. MEDLIFE national 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. These initiatives would not be possible without forming chapters at universities and high schools across the globe. MEDLIFE Chapters are the pillars of the movement. Our chapter would represent and promote MEDLIFE at UT Dallas and in our local communities. We would make an immeasurable impact - raising money for MEDLIFE, volunteering in Service Learning Trips, engaging in local community service initiatives, and more. We will work hand in hand with low-income communities and student groups to bring healthcare, education, and safe homes to the sites where we work, abroad or locally. The year-round effort will translate into hundreds of thousands of healthier families, better-informed individuals, and safer communities across Latin America, Africa and here in the DFW area. Overall, we aim to involve students, develop leadership skills, have the opportunity to make a difference, and build important connections that last a lifetime.
