2015 Annual Report

Supplies bring urgent relief to Nepal.

The Nepal earthquake in April claimed more than 8,000 lives, injured thousands more, devastated a half million homes and obliterated many irreplaceable historic buildings. It also ripped apart the fabric of everyday life, destroying roads, schools, stores and hospitals.

It took only seconds for disaster to strike. Within hours, FedEx team members began working with relief agencies Direct Relief, Heart to Heart International and Water Missions International to provide badly needed supplies. “We combined the reach of our networks and the collective expertise of many groups to aid the people of Nepal,” says Paul Tronsor, managing director for FedEx Express global operations control.

With the help of more than 200 FedEx team members, FedEx chartered flights delivered 178,000 pounds of supplies, including:

Water treatment systems, water chlorinators and storage tanks designed to serve 430,000 people a day.

Three daily meals for almost 1,700 people for a month.

Maternity and infant supplies for 5,000 expectant mothers.
