Since 2018, Agility has supported Oiada International and its employment training programs in Ghana, as well as Oiada’s student outreach programs in Turkey and Brazil.

In Ghana, Agility and Oiada have partnered to provide free training to young people joining the workforce or starting businesses. Past training has included electrician apprentice certification, computers & technology, brickmaking & construction skills, and soft skills for employment and career development. The training provides young people with skills they need to join the workforce or create businesses in a rapidly developing local economy. Training courses take place at the Agility Logistics Park in Tema, Ghana.

In addition, Oiada and Agility have partnered to help young people in Brazil and Turkey, connecting them with Agility leaders and team members around the world to better understand sustainability and supply chain issues from different cultural perspectives.

From 2018 through 2023, we reached 700+ people.

In October 2022, Agility sponsored RunQ8, a charity fun run benefiting the Fawzia Sultan Healthcare Network. 20 Agility employees participated in the event, and Agility matched employee registration donations dollar for dollar. Funds raised from the race are directed to children of low-income families who do not have access to appropriate healthcare services. This is Agility’s 10th year sponsoring RunQ8.

Agility and Menzies partnered to fund a training program in the UK which assists people with a background of homelessness to access real training opportunities. The program also provides 6 to 12 week placements, allowing trainees to learn the skills needed in the hospitality sector through on the job training alongside wrap around support from our social impact team. The program will train 20 people / year.

Since 2022, Agility has supported the Children of War Foundation (COWF) and its humanitarian and refugee programs in Europe and the Middle East:

• Ukraine: Agility’s assistance allowed COWF to provide life support and medical assistance to infants, children and families displaced by the conflict.

• Jordan:
  • With Agility’s assistance, COWF was also able to provide free health screening, examinations and surgeries to refugee children in Jordan. Agility supports COWF’s education program, Abwaab Remote Education Program, which provides remote learning opportunities for students, regardless of age, gender or citizenship status. The program provides interactive online classes, comprehensive study materials, placement testing, mentorship and personalized support, to allow students to complete high school-level education.
  • Agility also supports COWF’s “School of Dreams” program, which offers education and support services to families residing on the Jordanian/Syrian border, with some students walking miles to attend. The school targets primary-aged students, with a dedicated on-site teacher. COWF provides on-site weekly visits and the financial support needed to maintain the facility and provide supplies. With Agility’s support, COWF purchased tablets/Chromebooks for students to use, and provided internet access, allowing students to participate in exercises that expose them to the outside world. This exposure serves as a mechanism for inspiration and knowledge that would otherwise be unavailable to them.

Since 2006, our contributions and support of COWF have directly benefitted 2,700 people in Jordan and Ukraine.

In July 2022 the Agility E Services Hyderabad team distributed 50 desks to Kuknoor school. This school has about 268 students, and the desks will be used by about 100 of them for at least 10 years.

Agility Defense & Government Services volunteered help the UK charity, BLESMA, with its annual golf outing. The outing raised money to support the UK’s wounded and limbless service members by providing prosthetic interventions and treatments, medical support and assistance, as well as counseling and therapy services. The Agility DGS UK team has partnered with BLESMA for more than five years.

National Aviation Services (NAS) and Agility are collaborating to support Born to Learn, an education NGO operating in Tanzania. With NAS and Agility’s resources, a technological and multimedia classroom was outfitted to support 350 students, from ages 3 to 22. Our contributions have provided computers, tables & chairs, a project & screen, and monthly maintenance costs. In addition to vocational skills training, the classroom will be used to teach English, math, biology, history, geography, arts, and music. As well, internships will be offered to deserving students at NAS offices in Tanzania. NAS employees will also engage in running workshops relating to technology and computer use to further enhance the children’s knowledge and skills.

National Aviation Services and Agility partnered to construct a canteen for a local school in Bassam, Cote d’Ivoire. The new canteen created a shaded area for 250 students and faculty to take a break and eat a meal in a safe, comfortable space. The canteen includes a special ramp to make it wheelchair accessible and is available for community members to use outside of school hours. Prior to the construction of the canteen, the students had no shelter from the heat or rain during mealtime, or had to return home for meals. By having a canteen on the school property, students are more likely to stay at school for the entire day.
