What is Moving Mountains?
The Moving Mountains campaign is a healthcare provision fundraiser program designed and used exclusively by MEDLIFE. Moving Mountains hopes to aid impoverished communities by bringing Mobile Clinics, patient follow-up services, and health education workshops.
The COVID-19 pandemic has set gender equality back by decades. Since 2020, women's healthcare access has been disrupted, girls' education has been put on hold, and lockdowns have increased gender-based violence. In fact, UN Women projects that COVID-19 will push an additional 47 million women and girls into extreme poverty, further widening the existing poverty gap between genders. To help address these injustices, MEDLIFE's Moving Mountains fundraising campaign for 2022-2023 will focus on Health for Her.
MEDLIFE designed this initiative to ignite the movement of fundraising within our local communities. Comprised of a Webinar and exciting Power Hour session, this fundraiser helps you expand your perspectives, develop professional fundraising skills, receive volunteer hours and more.
Moving Mountains Webinar:
It provides the context behind fundraising and equips students with the tools to raise awareness and funds effectively and confidently! Moving Mountains Webinars this year focuses on healthcare provision (adapting to the needs of our communities as stages in the pandemic change!)
Moving Mountains Power Hour:
A 1-hour conference call session where participants gather to contact family and friends to ask for donations to the Moving Mountains program. There is upbeat music playing in the background throughout the hour, and the main chat box constantly updates donated amounts live as the donations come through to encourage participants.
