FedEx Corporation and international non-profit Feed the Children have partnered to provide educational support to over 1,600 students from seven fishing and farming communities in Sagbayan, Bohol. A team of 20 FedEx volunteers filled school bags with essential supplies, including notebooks, scissors, writing pads, erasers, sharpeners, pencils, and raincoats. The goal is to equip students with the necessary tools to navigate the academic year and foster a better learning environment, ensuring their success in their studies.
“For the past four decades, we have been an avid supporter of programs that enable local communities to thrive,” said Maribeth Espinosa, managing director of FedEx Philippines. “At FedEx, delivering for good and contributing to the social and economic needs of the underprivileged is part of our DNA. We strongly believe that education is a powerful tool for change, and through this initiative, we hope to make a positive impact on the lives of these young learners.”
The collaboration with Feed the Children is one of FedEx Philippines’ initiatives to support community development. FedEx has a long history of giving back to the communities where its team members live and work, leveraging its global network and resources to make a meaningful difference. This initiative provides immediate assistance and helps build a foundation for long-term educational success in these underserved communities.
