Founded in 2007, Last Mile Health (LMH) ipartners with governments to ensure that even the most remote, underserved communities have access to essential primary healthcare. In Liberia, where nearly a third of the population lives more than five kilometres from the nearest health facility, LMH partnered with the Ministry of Health to design, launch and scale the country’s first National Community Health Program. This program has established a professionalized cadre of salaried, supervised, and well-equipped community health workers who are now delivering life-saving care to more than one million people nationwide. Building on its success in Liberia, LMH has been invited to scale community healthcare programs in Malawi, Ethiopia and Sierra Leone.
We partner with LMH as part of LGT Venture Philanthropy’s health strategy to focus on models that design, scale, strengthen and sustain digitally empowered solutions to provide high-quality primary healthcare in underserved communities. We provide comprehensive support across three areas:
people reached across Ethiopia, Liberia, Malawi and Sierra Leone
lives of children under-5 saved through LMH-supported interventions since July 2023
Last Mile Health has been honored to partner with LGT Venture Philanthropy since 2018. The LGT team approaches philanthropy with a holistic approach that has provided both the technical and financial resources to grow our organizational capacity to better deliver on our mission to save lives in the world's most remote communities. They have been invaluable partners in our organization's growth, allowing us to now serve more than 5 million people in partnership with 4 African governments.
