Agility Bangladesh initiated its second school year, supporting the Gulshan Literacy Program. Agility volunteers donated their time to tutor students in English, basic computer skills and other subjects.
Agility, along with its subsidiary UPAC, collected funds and school supplies. Each student received a backpack, school notebooks, and stationary, and raised funds to support the tuition fees for Syrian refugee students.
Agility chemicals safety experts introduced and identified the different classes of chemicals to the students and educated them on the various safety measures that should be taken to avoid any hazardous effects.
Since 2007, Agility has supported Injaz Kuwait’s mission to provide kids with employment and entrepreneurial skills development. We do this in several ways, including:
- Mentorship: Agility volunteers collaborate with Injaz to provide skills development to students attending Kuwaiti schools. We sponsor 5 programs: Innovation Camps, Entrepreneurship Masterclass, It’s My Business, Steer Your Career, and Job-Shadow. Led by volunteer mentors, these programs teach students how to come up with ideas for products/services, and then go from idea to viable business. Students learn about different business requirements and functions, such as capital management, finance, product development, communications, and marketing and sales. Agility employees have volunteered as mentors.
- Internships: Agility has hosted university-age student interns through Injaz’s internship program. Interns work in different departments at Agility to learn about the professional environment and different business functions.
Since 2007, our contributions and support of Injaz have directly benefitted thousands of students in Kuwait.
Since 2006, Agility has supported LOYAC’s employment and entrepreneurial skills development program, aimed at high-school and university-aged students. LOYAC teaches students how to put together ideas for new products and services, and then simulate going from idea to a viable business or entrepreneurship. Students learn about different business requirements and functions, such as capital management, finance, product development, communications, marketing and sales.
Most recently Agility has supported the LOYAC KON and KONTINUE programs, that specialize on entrepreneurial skills development. The curriculum for these programs is developed by Babson College in the United States. The KON program focuses on middle and high-school aged kids, whereas the KONTINUE program focuses on university aged young adults. The LOYAC programs also include opportunities for community volunteers who guide and mentor students during the training.
Since 2006, our contributions and support of LOYAC have directly benefitted close to 500 students in Kuwait.
Since 2022, Agility has partnered with CODED to provide university students with software development skills training, including development of mobile apps, games, and web apps, via its “UniCODE” training program.
In 2023 Agility also sponsored the Kuwait Codes program, which provides software development training in mobile apps, games, and flutter to high school students. In this program Agility also sponsored the Technology Leaders program for girls, which trains female participants in the Kuwait Codes program. Technology Leaders provides leadership, empowerment, and career development information to girls in the Kuwait Codes training program. In 2023, 112 girls, received additional training via the Technology Leaders program, contributing to the highest ever girls’ completion rate for the Kuwait Codes program.
Since 2021, Agility has supported the Soronko Academy, and its technology skills development program for women in Ghana. At the Agility Logistics Parks facility in Tema, Ghana, Soronko provides free software development, ICT and soft skills training to young women that are starting businesses, seeking employment or trying to advance their careers. Soronko Academy’s “Code with Agility” program includes subjects like website development, search engine optimization, digital marketing, data analytics and other technology and software development topics.
From 2021 through 2023, we backed programs that assisted 185 people.
Since 2018, Agility has supported public schools in the Kuknor, India and Mothe, India that provide children from low-income families with access to improved elementary education. The program began as a way to ensure more families could send children to public school instead of spending significant resources on private schools. Agility has supported local schools by refurbishing classrooms, providing technology equipment, building sanitary facilities for girls, providing sports and athletic equipment, and funding salaries for teachers and school staff. This program is led by Agility E-Services (AES) in Hyderabad. Together, AES and school administrators track progress and impact of the program over time. When the program began in 2018, only 155 students were enrolled in the Kuknor school. Today the number is more than double, due to improvements in the school that have resulted from this partnership.
From 2018 through 2023, we assisted over 2,600 children with this partnership.
