The MEDLIFE Small Business Workshop Difference

Small Business

Offering Small Business Support to the Poor

Our Small Business Workshops work hand in hand with business owners from the impoverished communities where MEDLIFE is located. We listen to their needs and work with them to create sustainable solutions.

Small Business

Working with Local Communities

Our in-country staff has personal connections with the local communities and small businesses. They speak the language, understand local systems, and forge authentic connections with community members who need our support.

Small Business

Providing Long-Term Solutions

After volunteers start a project initiative during their week of service, our in-country staff continues to support the small business as they implement long-term solutions to foster sustainable business practices.

Small Business

Learning About Local Culture Through Service

Volunteers learn about a foreign culture and country through first-hand experience, reflections, and workshops. They will spend time with community members and local business professionals as well as attend reflective and educational meetings to become better versed on local and global issues.

Not only was I able to participate in a week long Mobile Clinic, shadowing doctors of all types of specialties including pharmacy, dentistry, gynecology, and more, but I was also able to learn about the culture and visit incredible places.

One thing that I really loved about this trip was that MEDLIFE made sure that the volunteers got an understanding of the complexity of issues that lead to underprivileged people in communities outside of the main city

Whether it was basketball with the local kids, assisting the doctors, talking with families, building washrooms, holding babies, or spending time with the people who were on the SLT with me, this was an amazing opportunity that I would do over and over again.

Our family had the privilege of participating in multiple trips with Nick [founder] and his amazing staff. Their expertise made the trips unforgettable while instilling in my boys the fundamentals of good character: selflessness, compassion, and empathy.

As an aspiring physician, MEDLIFE motivated me to further continue my goal of becoming a doctor. In fact, I enjoyed the Tanzania Service Learning Trip so much that I decided to go on another trip to Cusco, Peru.
