Our transformational work gives girls a voice and agency to speak up against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
Read moreAbout Us
Last Mile4D is a non-profit based in Washington, DC that designs and implements education and training programs with a focus on the health and safety of women and girls living in the most remote and underserved areas of the developing world known as the “Last Mile” communities. The name refers to communities disconnected from health and other infrastructure such as roads, running water or hospitals. LM4D develops health and safety solutions for women and girls living in oppressive environments in the Last Mile. We tailor our approach to the needs of each community. The philosophy that guides and motivates us is that access to health and safety is a fundamental human right regardless of where a woman or girl lives.

Our Mission is to ensure women and girls have access to information about their health, safety, and freedom from Gender-Based Violence, including Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
Stopping Harm, Strengthening Futures
Since our inception, Last Mile4D has been at the forefront of advancing women and girls’ rights to reproductive health and prevention of gender-based violence. We have done this through cutting-edge technology and forging strategic partnerships. Over the years, we have:
Launched a Pioneering Platform:
Developed and deployed Last Mile4D’s robust platform, integrating data collection and provision of health and safety services to women and girls in the remotest regions of the world.
Reduced Gender-Based Violence:
Applied a unique multi-pronged methodology and prevented FGM and domestic violence in the regions within which we work.
Held Authorities Accountable:
Engaged and collaborated with local authorities to intervene and prevent FGM during the critical cutting seasons.
Disrupted FGM Cutting Seasons:
We ran sanctuary day camps in different locations during the cutting/school closure season, disrupting plans to cut the girls.
Introduced Alternative Rites of Passage:
Planted groves of trees in honor of the girls that stood up to FGM and celebrated their health with their parents and authorities.
Collaborated Globally:
Partnered with diverse and local organizations, governments, and other providers to drive sustainable health solutions.
