Month: November 2025

Piedmont Global is thrilled to announce the launch of our annual Action Week, a time when we turn our core values into tangible community action. This year, the initiative is being powerfully led by our Nairobi team, marking a significant step in localizing the Piedmont Global Cares Foundation and strengthening our identity as a truly unified, global family. 

The week commenced with an inspiring outreach event that perfectly captures our mission in motion. 

A Journey of Compassion to Namanga 

Demonstrating incredible dedication, members of the Nairobi team devoted their public holiday on Friday, October 10 to travel for several hours to the Namanga Islamic Center, a boys’ orphanage near the Kenya-Tanzania border. Their journey was fueled by a desire to make a direct, local impact. 

The team delivered essential clothing, games, and gifts, all procured through their own fundraising efforts. To amplify this grassroots support, the Piedmont Global Cares Foundation bolstered their initiative with a grant of $1,500 to further the orphanage’s vital work. 

A Day of Shared Purpose and Lasting Impact 

This outreach was thoughtfully designed with a dual purpose, creating a ripple effect of positivity. 

For the children of Namanga, the goal was to provide a day filled with joy, affirmation, and positive engagement. It was about more than material donations; it was about creating a memorable experience where every child felt seen, valued, and cared for. 

For our Piedmont Global community, the day was a living embodiment of our foundational values: Community, Responsibility, and Impact. It offered our team a powerful, hands-on opportunity to live these principles, strengthening their bonds and reinforcing the profound satisfaction that comes from shared purpose. 

The Nairobi team has set a remarkable standard for Action Week. Their initiative is a testament to the universal resonance of our values and serves as an inspiring call to action for our entire global collective. They have beautifully shown how local dedication can create a meaningful international impact. 

At Piedmont Global, we believe in the power of community, both within our global team and in our commitment to making a positive impact in the world. That’s why we were so proud to lace up our running shoes and join the Iraqi Children Foundation (ICF) for their annual 5K event on September 6th. 

Held at Rock Creek National Park in Washington, DC, with a virtual participation option, this year’s ICF 5K was a record-breaking success. We are thrilled that Team Piedmont Global was part of an event that drew 519 participants globally, achieving the highest participation and fundraising results in its history! 

We are especially proud of our own team’s outstanding performance. In our first time participating as a team, we secured 2nd place on the official leaderboard, a fantastic achievement that reflects our collective drive and spirit. 

Our global participation was truly inspiring: 

• 36 team members participated worldwide. 

• 12 colleagues joined the in-person event in Virginia, USA. 

• 24 team members participated virtually from across the globe. 

The Piedmont Global bond knows no borders! Our virtual participants represented four countries and numerous cities. In a wonderful display of camaraderie, 14 of our team members in Nairobi, Kenya, gathered in person to walk and run together at Karura Forest, showcasing our unified commitment. 

But this event was about so much more than just a race. Our collective strides translated into direct support for a vital cause. Piedmont Global donated $895 in race registration fees directly to ICF. Even more inspiring, as our team members learned more about ICF’s critical work, several made additional personal donations, further amplifying our impact. 

The funds raised through events like this provide essential services like; food, tutoring, and legal protection for orphans and street children in Iraq, offering them hope and a brighter future. 

We are incredibly proud of our team for their energy, generosity, and dedication to make a global impact. Together, we didn’t just run a race; we took a meaningful stride for hope.
