Who We Are

Last Mile Health’s team works across many geographies—but we share a deep commitment to our mission, vision, and values. We’re a hybrid team, with the majority of our staff working in our country program offices or in our Ghana headquarters, and a small number of staff working remotely. We have four in-person country offices in Ethiopia, Liberia, Malawi, and Sierra Leone, as well as county offices in Grand Bassa County and Rivercess County, Liberia. Our global team is headquartered in Accra, Ghana. Overall, our staff is 43% female and 74% African.

OUR COMMITMENT TO EQUITY
& TRANSPARENCY IN COMPENSATION

At Last Mile Health, we strive to reward our employees equitably and transparently. This means that we pay our employees based on a clear and consistent methodology and without regard to identity or personal relationships. We have made this model fully transparent, so that everyone has access to all information related to compensation. The only private component of our compensation model is what individual employees earn.

If you are an employee at Last Mile Health, we hope this helps you understand your compensation. If you are a job candidate, we hope this helps you better understand Last Mile Health’s values and commitments to our employees. If you are a human resources professional or leader in the social sector, we hope you will take any ideas from here that you find valuable and use them in your own organization to join us in advancing pay equity and transparency.
