MEDLIFE partners with low-income communities in Latin America and Africa to improve their access to medicine, education and community development projects. Its means of accomplishing this is to build a worldwide movement empowering students and volunteers to become advocates for change.

Although the nonprofit used several Give Lively products, its use of our Peer-Based Fundraising tools — Peer-to-Peer Fundraising pages for individuals and Team Fundraising pages for groups — has been truly exemplary.

Campaign Page (Story Template) with incredible reach

MEDLIFE's highly successful Moving Mountains campaign has focused on relief for vulnerable families impacted by COVID. It raised nearly $750,000 from 26,000+ donations, mostly through 6,500+ peer-based fundraisers (see below) who averaged around $115 each — a poignant demonstration of the power of many people collecting mostly small contributions from family, friends and colleagues.
