Since 2023 Agility has supported Education for Employment (EFE) to help them enable more young people to obtain employment or start businesses across the Middle East. In this partnership Agility has provided resources for EFE to develop curriculum and training materials for young people to learn how to use AI to obtain and retain employment, as well as other training materials for digital and financial literacy, as well as technology skills for women. The Agility-EFE partnership will enable EFE to reach tens of thousands of young people with training that will help improve their skills, as well as to obtain and retain employment or start businesses.

Since 2023 Agility has partnered with Women in Logistics Africa (WILA) to provide free training and education to women working in or seeking work in the supply chain and logistics industry. In 2023 Agility sponsored internships with mulitple supply chain and logistics organizations for 25 women. In 2024 Agility provided resources for 20 women to attend an introduction to logistics and supply chain course which enabled the women to receive certificates of completion to help them gain employment in the logistics industry.

Agility moved two truckloads of PPE from Johannesburg, South Africa, to Maputo, Mozambique, for PLeDGE Health, a U.S.-based NGO. PLeDGE is working to set up the first emergency room in Mozambique. As more donations came in, Agility worked to ensure enough truck space. At the same time, word of South Africa’s impending shutdown led to a shortage in trucks and long waits at the border. When the cargo arrived in Maputo, Agility arranged for storage at the newly built Agility Logistics Park. Agility also managed onward movement to hospitals in Maputo and to the Maputo District Ministry of Health warehouse. The PPE is intended for use at all seven hospitals in Maputo.

Agility provided free warehousing and local transportation services for two months to a GCC nation as part of its COVID-19 response. Over 5,500 pallet positions of PPE, pharmaceuticals and surgical equipment were stored at the company’s facility. In addition, Agility completed over 320 deliveries of these supplies to quarantine sites and hospitals. On average, Agility managed a throughput of 100 pallets in and out of our warehouse per day over 60 days.

From May to June 2022, the Agility Logistics Parks team partnered with the Kuwait Youth Public Authority (YPA) to provide free facilities management training to young people and recent college graduates to help them prepare for employment in the real estate and facilities management industry. The free training was part of the YPA program “Industry and Work” to help train youth in many professional fields to help them make good decisions about choosing career paths, as well as prepare them for work in different industries. Throughout the program, 36 students received 86 hours of training on facilities management, project management, and soft skills. This project was conducted in coordination with Engineering Systems Group (ESG).

Celebrating the month of Ramadan, Agility and its affiliate, United Projects for Aviation Services Company (UPAC), teamed up to run a meal program in coordination with the Al Ber Foundation and its ‘Naemati’ Project. The project reached more than 500 families.

Volunteers from Al Ber, along with employees from Agility and UPAC, helped pack and distribute the “Machla boxes,” containing basic food supplies. Boxes were donated and contained a months’ worth of necessary food items.

In addition, Agility organizes daily Iftar meals for its employees whose jobs require them to be on duty during Iftar at its facilities in Sulabiya, Jahra, and Fahaheel.

Since 2022, Agility has been working with Injaz in Saudi Arabia, to provide young people access to employment and entrepreneurial skills development. The collaboration focused on the “It’s My Business” and “The Company” programs. In these programs, students learned how to collaborate and develop ideas for new products and services, then simulate turning their ideas into viable businesses. They also learned about different business requirements and functions, such as capital management, finance, product development, communications, and marketing and sales.

From 2022 through 2024, we reached 690+ students.

Agility Logistics Park (ALP) Kuwait supported the Al Ber Foundation, a local NGO, and their project ‘Naemati’, donating previously used racking systems to store food and beverage products. All stored items will be donated to those in need, and stored at Al Ber’s storage facility.

Naemati works closely with supermarkets across Kuwait to collect food and beverage products. The Naemati team, along with youth volunteers, collect and store the items, using ALP’s donated racking system or in the freezers and fridges.

The storage facility has the capacity to store tons of various products on any given day, and distribute them to hundreds of families daily. Naemati have a distribution list that is comprised of over 14,000 less fortunate families in Kuwait that will benefit from these donated items.
