Last Mile Mobile Solutions<\/h2>\n

Every minute counts when a disaster strikes. Last Mile Mobile Solutions<\/a>, developed by World Vision and now being used by a dozen other organizations, is revolutionizing how survivors receive food, cash assistance, and relief supplies in their time of greatest need.<\/p>\n

With this innovative software, aid workers quickly register people by recording their names, pictures, locations, and eligibility for assistance — all on a smartphone.
