NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 11 – Federal Express Corporation, the world’s largest express transportation company, and Feed the Children have launched the Clean Futures Alliance in Kenya, supporting improved Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) outcomes for children in Kajiado County.
The initiative, part of the FedEx Cares program, brings together FedEx team members and community partners to address essential needs through volunteerism and local action. Through the Clean Futures Alliance, 2,400 school-aged children and adolescents in Bisil, Kajiado County will receive personal hygiene kits and participate in hygiene education sessions designed to promote healthier habits and support overall well-being.
“At FedEx, our purpose goes beyond moving packages – it is about connecting people and communities to the resources they need to thrive,” said Nelson Teixeira, managing director, Operations, Sub-Saharan Africa at FedEx.
“Through the Clean Futures Alliance, our team members are bringing that commitment to life by supporting children and families in Kenya and creating meaningful impact where we live and work.”
The program included WASH education sessions at Inkati and Noontoto primary schools, helping students understand the importance of everyday hygiene practices.
FedEx team members also supported the preparation and distribution of hygiene kits as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to community engagement.
“Access to hygiene supports children’s health, confidence and ability to stay engaged in school,” said Emily Callahan, president and CEO of Feed the Children.
“Our continued collaboration with FedEx is helping expand community-driven solutions that enable children and families to build healthier futures.”
The Clean Futures Alliance builds on the longstanding relationship between FedEx and Feed the Children, and reflects a shared commitment to improving access to essential resources and supporting stronger, healthier communities.
