Arizona Tribune - FedEx and Feed the Children Work Together to Support Communities in Guatemala, the Philippines and Kenya

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK / ACCESS Newswire / August 13, 2026 / FedEx, in collaboration with Feed the Children, a global movement working to end child hunger, recently completed a series of Clean Futures Alliance initiatives in Guatemala, the Philippines and Kenya. Across all three countries, the collaboration provided personal hygiene kits and school-based water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) education to 6,300 school-aged children and adolescents, reinforcing healthy habits that support children's health, confidence and school readiness.

Through the Clean Futures Alliance, FedEx team members helped assemble and distribute hygiene kits tailored to local needs, including soap, shampoo, face towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste and sanitary towels where appropriate. The program paired essential supplies with hygiene education resources and orientation sessions designed to help students build consistent daily routines that support well-being at school and at home.

"Access to hygiene essentials helps children stay healthy, confident and engaged in school," said Emily Callahan, president and CEO of Feed the Children. "Through our continued collaboration with FedEx, we helped expand community-driven solutions across Guatemala, the Philippines and Kenya that support children's well-being and readiness to learn. That's what our global movement is about: ensuring every child has the resources they need to survive and thrive."

This global initiative is part of FedEx Cares, the company's community engagement program supporting people and communities connected to FedEx team members around the world. Together, FedEx and Feed the Children helped children and families access essential resources today while supporting tools that can contribute to stronger, healthier futures.

"We are proud to support organizations like Feed the Children that make a meaningful difference in communities around the world. Helping remove barriers so that families have access to essential resources closely aligns with FedEx's mission to care for one another and give back to the places where we live and work," said Jenny Robertson, senior vice president, FedEx Global Brand and Communications.
