LAST MILE4D FOCUSES ON HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT THROUGH A MIX OF TECHNOLOGY, RENEWABLE ENERGY, AND INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY. OUR MISSION IS TO MOBILIZE RESOURCES TO ENSURE THAT REMOTE COMMUNITIES AT THE LAST MILE/OFF GRID AND ANY KIND OF INFRASTRUCTURE GET THE HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT SERVICES THEY DESERVE. LAST MILE4D DOES FUND RAISING TO REDUCE AND ERADICATE FEMALE GENITALIA MUTILATION (FGM) IN PARTS OF KENYA WITH HIGH PREVELANCE OF FGM BY BUILDING THE CAPACITY OF COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO ADVOCATE ON BEHALF OF WOMEN AND GIRLS IN DANGER OF FGM AND GIVING THEM STATEGIES FOR RAISING AWARENESS OF THE PROBLEM OF FGM. THIS GRANT IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION (FGM). THE PROJECT USES OUR DATA SYSTEMS AND COMMUNITY PROTOCOLS TO COLLECT EVIDENCE- BASED DATA. THIS DATA INFORM COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ADVOCACY PROGRAMS THAT CHANGE ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS FOR GIRLS AND THEIR FAMILIES, BUT ALSO THE BROADER COMMUNITIES WHICH UNWITTINGLY, THROUGH INACTION, HAVE TACITLY PROVIDED CONSENT FOR FGM. THE PROJECT ENROLLS 1,600 GIRLS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN A YEAR-LONG PROGRAM USING VOICEPACK4DEVELOPMENT (V4D) IN TWO COUNTIES OF MIGORI AND WEST POKOT IN KENYA. THE PROJECT INVOLVES THE FOLLOWING STAGES: A. TRAIN FIELD STAFF ON THE USE OF V4D. THE V4D HAS PROVEN TO BE A POSITIVE DISRUPTOR, MERGING TECHNOLOGY, DATA COLLECTION AND DATA ANALYSIS TO INFROM COMMUNITY-CENTERED PROGRAMS. MOBILE, SOLAR-POWERED V4D WILL ENSURE UNINTERRUPTED ACCESS TO DATA AND EDUCATIONAL MODULES FOR COMMUNITIES WE SELECT. THIS, COMBINED WITH CONSISTENT OUTREACH, MONITORING AND EVALUATION WILL WORK TO ELIMINATE FGM. B. ROLL OUT THE V4D AND ENROLL THE GIRLS TO COLLECT REAL-TIME DATA, ALLOWING FOR IN-TIME INTERVENTION BY OUR FIELD STAFF, SUPPORTED BY POLICE AND CHILDREN SERVICES. C. PROVIDE SHELTER FOR GIRLS DURING THE CUTTING SEASON WHEN FGM RISK IS THE HIGHEST. D. USE THE 10 EDUCATIONAL MODULES IN THE WEEKLY SCHOOL SESSIONS TO INFROM THE STUDENTS ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS, MYTHS, AND FACTS ABOUT FGM, THE PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HARMS OF FGM, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LAWS PROHIBITING FGM AND THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT IN KEEPING GIRLS SAFE. E. PROVIDE BI-MONTHLY EDUCATIONAL MODULES ABOUT THE HARMS OF FGM. FROM THE OUTSET, THE PROGRAM WILL ENGAGE COMMUNITY INFLUENCERS, TRIBAL CHIEFS, RELIGIOUS LEADERS, LOCAL GOVERNMENT, AND ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO OBTAIN AGREEMENT AND SUPPORT THAT WE BELIEVE IN ESSENTIAL FOR PROGRAM SUCCESS. F. SHARE TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN DATA COLLECTION RESULTS IN MOBILIZING COMMUNITY EFFORTS. AS PART OF THIS EFFORT, WE WILL SHARE REAL-TIME DATA ON THE ENROLLED GIRLS TO INFORM THE COMMUNITY AT STAKEHOLDERS' COMMUNITY FORUMS IN THE REGION. DATA COLLECTED WILL DOCUMENT THE EFFECTIVENESS TO ERADICATE FGM. G. IF PAST SUCESS IS ANY PREDICTOR OF FUTURE SUCCESS, THE COMPELLING EVIDENCE WILL MOBILIZE THE COMMUNITY BEHIND OUR EFFORTS. WE WILL CONTINUE COLLECTING, ANALYZING, AND COMMUNICATING THE FGM DATA FINDINGS WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES FOR ACTIONS AND INTERVENTIONS, AS EVIDENCE THAT THE PRACTICE CONTINUES, DESPITE ITS ILLEGALITY. 9759 ON AN INDIVIDUAL DONOR'S REQUEST AND FUNDING, LAST MILE4D PROVIDED SUPPORT AND DESIGNED THE CONTEXT FOR THE FILM PRODUCERS AND CREW.
