About

MEDLIFE Unionville

MEDLIFE Unionville is a youth-led chapter of the international MEDLIFE organization and is based in Unionville, Ontario. MEDLIFE is an acronym for "Medicine, Education and Development for Low-Income Families Everywhere". MEDLIFE partners with low-income communities in Latin America to improve the quality and access to healthcare, education and developmental projects.

MEDLIFE chapters, such as MEDLIFE Unionville, are located around the world and play in important role in increasing awareness about MEDLIFE and its partner communities, fundraising for the MEDLIFE organization, and growing the movement. Chapters also participate on Service Learning Trips where members have the opportunity to travel to some of MEDLIFE's partner communities. In addition to volunteering for MEDLIFE, chapters are active in volunteering in their own communities as well.

Currently, MEDLIFE has been focusing on providing COVID-19 Relief to communities in need through the Moving Mountains Giving Program. Funds raised from this initiative will go towards providing food, water and other necessities to families who can't afford it themselves.
