Arab Finance: Snack and confectionery manufacturer Mondelez Egypt has partnered with Misr El Kheir Foundation to provide school bags to children in underserved communities across Fayoum, Beni Suef, and Minya, helping them meet basic school supply needs at the start of the academic year, as per a press release.
Company employees will prepare the bags, with the foundation responsible for distributing them to eligible children.
The employee participation forms part of Purpose Month, an annual program marking Mondelez International’s founding anniversary through staff activities worldwide. This year’s theme, “Change the Game for Every Child,” focuses on contributing to local communities.
"We believe that supporting the communities in which we operate is an essential part of our responsibility, in line with our global purpose, ‘Snacking Made Right,’ which reflects our commitment to making snacks the right way. Our partnership with Misr El Kheir Foundation embodies these values through a tangible initiative that aims to help create a better learning environment for children and provide some of the essential supplies they need to start the academic year with confidence," Mohamed El Morsi, Managing Director of Mondelez Egypt Foods, said.
Ahmed Younis, Head of the Resource Development Sector at Misr El Kheir Foundation, commented: "Our partnership with Mondelez Egypt highlights the importance of aligning the efforts of the private sector and civil society organizations to reach the most underserved children and meet some of their educational needs. We look forward to this initiative contributing to supporting children and their families at the beginning of the academic year and enhancing their opportunities to continue their educational journey."
The school bag initiative follows Mondelez Egypt’s participation in packing and distributing food boxes during Ramadan 2026, as well as its support for breast cancer awareness activities. These efforts are carried out with specialized partners as part of the company’s community programs.
