About LifeNet

Guided by our Christian values and the belief that every individual deserves an equal opportunity to lead a healthy and whole life, LifeNet improves the quality of health systems from the ground up. We are dedicated to strengthening health systems by leveraging existing resources to maximize return on investment and promote local sustainability. Through a framework of partnerships with faith-based health centers, we innovate and implement pragmatic responses to everyday health challenges facing the poor.

LifeNet International’s intervention design takes an asset-based approach to development. Rather than build new clinics and bring in external healthcare providers, LifeNet builds and strengthens the capacity of local healthcare facilities, people, and resources, effectively empowering facilities to care for their communities with compassion, respect, confidence, and evidence-based knowledge.
