We also endeavor to spread awareness of food waste reduction practices in the U.S. through education and training on seasonal eating and safe food preservation techniques. Through our on the ground organization in Uganda the Preserve International team carries out trainings in 28a agronomic best practices as well as safe and effective food preservation and storage techniques. We primarily work with women's farm groups in and around the Bidi Bidi Refugee camp in Yumbe, Uganda. We work with Ugandan based Sparky Social Enterprises to provide our partners with Sparky Dryers, a solar and bio-fuel powered food dehydrator that can extend the life of produce from days to months, and even years. This empowers subsistence farmers not only with a means of securing healthy food for their families year round, but also provides a more secure means of revenue generation through the sale of preserved food throughout the year. This is especially advantageous during the dry season when food is scarce and thus fetched a higher price in the market. As of December 2022 we have worked with 12 farm groups, providing agricultural and food preservation training to over 420 individuals who are responsible for feeding over 4,000 people. 52489 X 52489 52489 Elizabeth Jordan-Flight Executive Director, Chairman of the Board 35.00 25000 0 0 Jenna Sigman Director of Outreach and Engagement 20.00 3103 13611 0 Yo Li Vice President of the Board of Directors 1.00 0 0 0 Heather Smith Board of Directors 1.00 0 0 0 Maegan Stevens-Liska Board of Directors 1.00 0 0 0 Dixya Bhattarai Board of Directors 1.00 0 0 0 Christie Eckler Board of Directors 1.00 0 0 0 false false false false false 0 false false false TX Elizabeth Jordan-Flight Executive 7002 Lake Mead Blvd Arlington TX 76016 8172333431 true UG true UG false false false false false false false false false false Elizabeth Jordan-Flight Executive Director 35.00 25000 0 0 Jenna Sigman Director of Outreach and Engagement 20.00 3103 13611 0 0 NONE 0 true X 0 57716 52235 52153 79807 90663 332574 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 57716 52235 52153 79807 90663 332574 332574 332574 X 1.00000 1.00000 Holiday Tea Fundraiser 16765 0 16765 500 1062 500 200 0 0 16765 0 16765 0 0 500 1062 500 200 2262 14503 Part I, Line 16 EIDL loan repayment Part II, Line 26 EIDl loan from 2021 for $32,900, and then EIDl loan from 2020 for $23,000 Began repayment in January 2023
