Partners & Grants

At MEDLIFE, our vision is a world free from the constraints of poverty. In order to bring this dream to life, it is vital that we come together with those who share our vision. By working hand in hand with our partner communities, our student movement, and like-minded organizations, we can maximize our joint impact and boost our progress towards making this vision a reality.

Coming together in unprecedented times

Since the start of the pandemic, we have shifted our approach to address food insecurity through Community Soup Kitchens and food deliveries.
