*Established in 2024, Agility Global has a long history of partnering with local and international NGOs to support education, refugee assistance, environmental sustainability, healthcare, and other community initiatives. The programs and social impact highlighted here showcase the positive outcomes of these enduring partnerships.

Since 2022, Agility Global has supported the Novick Cardiac Alliance (NCA) with several surgical missions, including two to Libya and one to Lebanon. During these missions, the NCA team provides free heart surgeries to children with congenital heart defects or heart diseases. In addition to providing free surgeries, the NCA team of surgeons, doctors, nurses, practitioners and staff provide free training to local medical professionals to enable them to be able to complete similar life-saving pediatric surgeries. In addition to free training, the NCA team also donates urgently required medical equipment to help local facilities. Agility Global has provided in-kind transportation of medical equipment and cash donations to help fund the cost of the medical missions.

Since 2022, this work has benefitted 650 people.
