We partner with locally structured organizations uniquely positioned to bring affordable renewable energy to the country’s most remote (last-mile) villages. Through these organizations, we support emerging entrepreneurs in launching sustainable energy enterprises that drive economic growth and opportunity.

Testimonials

“We cannot create a perfect living (environment) for our society when they don’t have access to safe and clean energy. NEX ENVenture gave us the financing and developed our capacity to grow and scale”

– Reverend Moses Atuhaire, Executive Director of Utopia

“Working with ENVenture has enabled our organization to add new products to the market, and achieve a new partnership with Amped Solar Company as their local brand agent in Uganda. We attained a master class training conducted by Uganda Green Energy Accelerator (UGEFA) and we are now full time members of Global Distributors Collective.”

– Daniel Akena, Program Manager Safe Plan Uganda

“NEX Uganda has helped us build our capacity to successfully run our clean energy enterprises through entrepreneurship and business skills training, mentorship and linkages with manufacturers of high quality and affordable clean energy products.”

– Kobwemi Yahaya, Executive Director of KISE

“The partnership with New Energy Nexus has been of great importance to women and youth since the COVID-19 pandemic. People who lost their jobs were able to easily adapt to the distribution of clean energy products…. [They] were also able to reach remote and hard to reach places with no electricity and poor infrastructure…[and] women are now able to raise their voice against…income inequality and energy poverty.”

– Nimusiima Mudapharu, CEO CCACCH

“Through the partnership with New Energy Nexus, we’ve seen the impact of the clean energy program in Buikwe District. The extended reach of the products to many households has led to the awareness and utilization of these energy saving products such as solar lanterns, as well as benefiting the environment due to the wide adoption of clean cooking technologies and fuels.”

– Tamale Samuel, LODCU Secretary
