OUR BELIEFS
OUR BELIEFS
We are called to care for underserved and marginalized people in sub-Saharan Africa. About 900,000 people die every year in the region because of poor quality healthcare. This is largely because life-saving interventions do not reach the healthcare workers that desperately need them.
Our Christian faith and commitment to justice, compassion, and elevating the poor motivate our work. All people have profound value and inherent worth, and are made in the image of God. Every individual, regardless of where they live, have the right to lead healthy and whole lives. We believe the answer lies in the hands of local healthcare workers who, when equipped, can provide high-quality healthcare for their communities.
We value honoring God and others in all we do.
From our work in the field with health facilities to our team meetings and assessments, we are committed to honoring God, one another, our patients and all of our partners.
We value sustainable impact at scale.
As LifeNet continues to scale and expand our network to save more lives in sub-Saharan Africa, our leaders closely evaluate all programs and decisions with sustainable impact while keeping scale in mind.
We value high-quality, compassionate healthcare.
Our commitment to equitable and compassionate healthcare in all of our partner facilities is at the foundation of our work. Our belief that all people bear the image of God and have inherent worth and ability, as we embrace this value to be lived out to every patient entering our partner facilities.
We value evidence-based programming.
LifeNet’s robust monitoring and evaluation team are central to our work and provide ongoing data-based insight into the effectiveness of our interventions. We aim to see health center partners embody this evidence-based mindset in their own decision making.
We value local church ownership & decision making.
We believe people are our greatest asset. LifeNet is dedicated to recognizing and strengthening the skills and capacity of local men and women in the communities we work. Our staff work side-by-side with local staff, committed to increasing their capacity to flourish and in their ownership of the health services they provide to their communities.
