A significant portion of harvested food is lost due to inadequate resources and training, putting the livelihoods of countless off-grid families at risk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The solution:<\/strong> <strong>Empower through clean energy entrepreneurship<\/strong><br \/>\nNew Energy Nexus Uganda provides a lifeline through our innovative Productive Use of Energy (PUE) Program. By targeting over 21,000 cooperatives with more than 5.6 million members, we\u2019re driving sustainable agricultural practices that address food insecurity head-on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"btn_box\">\n                        <div class=\"section-ft mt-6 mt-lg-7\" data-reveal>\n                            <div class=\"container text-center align_left\">\n                                \n<div class=\"buttons-list auto \">\n\n  \n\n    <a href=\"mailto:uganda@newenergynexus.com\" id=\"69def90566115\" class=\"btn btn-danger \n                                                                        rounded-none\"   target=\"_blank\" >\n      <span>support us<\/span>\n    <\/a>\n    <script>\n          <\/script>\n\n  \n<\/div>                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newenergynexus.com\/uganda\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Elements-1.png\" \/> -->\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<style>\n    section#new_program_benefits_block_b3339bd75b09ae304b1e085b8d593219{ background-color:#000000 !important;
