EDUCATION AND LIVELIHOOD
#MedLifeWhatWeDo
Improving the standards of schools is a key aspect of community development. Education is essential for providing individuals with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in life and make meaningful contributions to their communities. This is in accordance with the UN SDG 4 which ensures inclusive and equitable quality education and promotes lifelong learning opportunities for all.
DEVELOPING SCHOOLS
Medlife Foundation aims to enhance education levels in underdeveloped government schools by:
- Improving school infrastructure and facilities, such as clean drinking water and toilets.
- Focusing on quality of education through better teaching methods, educational materials, and technology.
- Supporting teachers and students through training and resources.
- Working with parents and community members to promote education.
- Advocating for better education policies such as better academic plans, and good learning environments.
IMPROVING LIVELIHOOD

- We support entrepreneurs with training, mentoring, and financial assistance to establish and grow their small businesses.
- We facilitate the formation of self-help groups (SHGs) among rural women to provide a platform for sharing experiences and supporting each other in entrepreneurial and other livelihood activities.
- We promote sustainable livelihood activities such as organic farming, agroforestry, and handicrafts that generate income while preserving natural resources and promoting local culture.
- We connect small-scale producers and entrepreneurs to markets by facilitating linkages and promoting value chain development.
- We promote financial inclusion by providing access to savings accounts, microcredit, and insurance, and improving the financial literacy of our beneficiaries.
- We build resilience by helping communities adapt to the impacts of climate change and other external shocks through training and support.
OUR ROLE
