Review for Last Mile4D, Washington, DC, USA
Last Mile4D does remarkable work protecting the lives of girls and women. I have been most impressed by their accomplishments reducing both FGM and young girls forced into marriage.
Review for Mercy Beyond Borders, Santa Clara, CA, USA
Mercy Beyond Borders' commitment to educating and empowering girls and women is inspirational. Beginning with work in South Sudan, MBB has expanded to Haiti, Malawi, Kenya, and Uganda.
It is well known that the path out of poverty begins with a good education. But MBB takes this to the next level, instilling its scholars with leadership skills as well. MBB also has a micro-enterprise program, enabling women to run businesses to support themselves and their families in displacement camps.
When I donate to MBB, I am confident that the money goes directly to those in need. For that reason, I am a HeartBeat monthly supporter. I highly encourage others to join this program (https://www.mercybeyondborders.org/the-heartbeat) as well!
Dear Leslie, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! Yes, education is key to ending the cycle of poverty, but it's so much more than that which is why we use a case-management approach, and yes- leadership training as well! We are so grateful for your continued engagement with our mission. Thank you for being a HeartBeat member!
