How recurring is giving help to communities?
Community support is an ongoing, year-round effort at MEDLIFE. While Service Learning Trips (SLTs) are a key part, the commitment to helping communities continues without interruption. MEDLIFE partners with local leaders to provide consistent follow-up care, education, and development projects. Your involvement as a volunteer can make a lasting difference, not just during your trip but throughout the year.
