FedEx has partnered with Feed the Children to launch the Growing Futures Alliance in Kenya, aimed at addressing food insecurity through sustainable solutions.
The initiative provides nutritional food kits and gardening tools to support small-scale food production for approximately 1,800 children under five and their caregivers. FedEx volunteers in Kenya packed and distributed these kits while engaging with local communities to better understand their needs.
The program, running from January to April 2025, builds on previous collaborations like the Delivering Futures Alliance, which supplied school kits to Kenyan students.
“As a company committed to delivering more than just packages, FedEx is proud to partner with Feed the Children to make a meaningful impact in Kenya,” said Gregory Saffy, managing director Sub-Saharan Africa.
Jacktone Otieno, Feed the Children’s Interim Country Director, stated that FedEx support enables them to reach more families and provide not just immediate relief, but long-term solutions for better nutrition and self-sufficiency.
The initiative aligns with FedEx Cares, the company’s community impact program focused on empowering local communities.
