From September 2019 until February 2020, Australia battled the biggest bushfire crisis in its history. The bushfires had a devastating effect on Australia, burning through an estimated 13 million hectares of land, killed hundreds of millions of animals, and displaced thousands of people. Agility ran a global fundraising drive, raising money for the Australian Red Cross. Agility’s donation helped the Australian Red Cross support recovery through practical and emotional support services. Agility collected and matched donations from employees through the Australian Red Cross to support people in need of assistance.

The World Food Programme (WFP) has welcomed a new financial contribution from their longstanding partner Agility, a supply chain services, infrastructure and innovation company, to support WFP’s operations in Palestine. This donation will contribute to WFP’s efforts to provide essential food assistance to those suffering in one of the worst hunger crises the world is facing today.

Since 2010, Makhazen (the new name for Agility KSCP) has supported the Fawzia Sultan Healthcare Network to provide free healthcare services to lower income children. Makhazen and its employees have participated in the annual Run Q8 charity fund-raising event. As a foundation sponsor of the event, Makhazen has contributed over a 14 year period to provide funding that has assisted hundreds of children to have access to free physiotherapy and other medical assistance.

Since 2007, Makhazen (the new name for Agility KSCP) has supported Injaz Kuwait’s mission to provide kids with employment and entrepreneurial skills development. We do this in several ways, including:
  • Mentorship: Makhazen 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. Makhazen employees have volunteered as mentors.
  • Internships: Makhazen has hosted university-age student interns through Injaz’s internship program. Interns work in different departments at Makhazen 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, Makhazen (the new name for Agility KSCP) 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 Makhazen 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 about 650 students in Kuwait.

Since 2022, Makhazen (the new name for Agility KSCP) has partnered with CODED to provide students with software development skills training, including development of mobile apps, games, and web apps, via its “UniCODE”, Kuwait Codes and Academy X training programs.

The Kuwait Codes program provides software development training in mobile apps, games, and other applications to high school students. The Academy X program for girls provides software development, entrepreneurial, leadership and other skills. Unicode provides software development training to university aged students.

Agility has been a long-time supporter of humanitarian logistics and food assistance programs for the UN World Food Programme (WFP) and the UN Global Logistics Cluster during humanitarian crises around the world.

Since 2006, Agility has supported WFP in several ways:

  • During humanitarian emergencies, including sudden onset, protracted and complex emergencies, Agility has provided the WFP and the Logistics Cluster with in-kind supply chain services, including warehousing/storage and transportation of humanitarian cargo, as well as in deploying trained supply chain experts that help the Cluster and WFP to plan and execute emergency supply chain operations on the ground.
  • Agility also provides assistance for planning and preparedness projects, with local operations teams providing supply chain market and capacities information for geographies that are at risk for humanitarian crises, or that may be used as staging areas for humanitarian responses to crisis impacted areas.
  • In addition to supply chain support and assistance, Agility has also frequently raised money for WFP through employee donation campaigns for food assistance to disaster impacted people.

Since 2006, Agility has helped WFP and the Logistics Cluster provide some sort of humanitarian assistance around the world to well over a million people.

Since 2009, Agility has supported the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and its humanitarian and refugee assistance programs in the aftermath of humanitarian crises around the world. Our support for UNHCR comes from both employee fundraising drives and direct donations to UNHCR.

Employee Fundraising: Our employees have donated funds, matched by Agility, to provide refugees with clothing, food, shelter and other material necessities.

Direct Donations: Agility has supported refugees via UNHCR job skills training and employment resources development, as well as with administrative assistance to help refugees legally settle in their host countries. Agility has also provided assistance to UNHCR to help it provide refugee children with access to education.

Through two streams of support, we have assisted UNHCR programs for refugees from Africa, the Middle East and Asia in countries such as Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Malaysia, Turkey, and Uganda.

From 2009 through 2024, we reached more than 25,000 people.
