Introduction
LifeNet International transforms African healthcare facilities to provide quality, sustainable healthcare and save lives. The healthcare needs in sub-Saharan Africa are significant. Equally great are the talents and resources present in these communities. The LifeNet program is focused on equipping and empowering these existing healthcare providers and institutions in the faith-based healthcare sector in Africa. 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 respect, confidence, and evidence-based knowledge.
At LifeNet, we value: (1) Honoring God and others in all we do; (2) Sustainable impact at scale; (3) High-quality, compassionate healthcare; (4) Evidence-based programming; and (5) Local church ownership and decision-making.
