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. Preserve International, through its on-the-ground operations in Uganda, continued to expand its Train-the-Trainer model in 2025, strengthening local capacity and deepening community impact. Building on prior work, the organization added an additional 28 community-based agricultural groups, primarily composed of women and refugee-led initiatives. The program base was transitioned from Yumbe to Palorinya, where Preserve International partnered with Impact Driven Mission, a local refugee-led organization, to provide more comprehensive and integrated training. Trainings included techniques in solar dehydration, water bath canning, and improved storage practices to reduce post-harvest loss, alongside expanded support in agriculture, group development, and financial management. Preserve International Uganda also distributed hundreds of PICS bags, drying tarps, and other post-harvest handling supplies to support safe storage and reduce crop loss. The organization continued deploying Sparky dryers, a locally designed solar and biofuel-powered food dehydrator, to help preserve seasonal harvests such as mangoes, tomatoes, and leafy greens. These efforts enabled participants to improve household nutrition and generate income by selling preserved goods during the off-season. Through this model, Preserve International empowered local trainers and participants, fostering stronger integration within the community and reducing dependence on external facilitation. The approach emphasizes sustainable, relationship-driven development and long-term resilience across refugee and host populations. 45956 X 82945 82945 Elizabeth Jordan-Flight Executive Director 35.00 24500 0 0 Jenna Sigman Director of Outreach & Engagement 15.00 1523 1732 0 Maegan Stevens-Liska Board of Directors 5.00 0 0 0 Yo Li Board of Directors 5.00 0 0 0 Heather Smith Board of Directors 5.00 0 0 0 Marina Bonsi Board of Directors 5.00 0 0 0 false false false false false false false false false TX Elizabeth Jordan-Flight 7002 Lake Mead Blvd Arlington TX 76016 8172333431 true UG true UG false false false false false false false false false false NONE 0 NONE 0 true X 0 52153 79807 90663 102019 90287 414929 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 52153 79807 90663 102019 90287 414929 1806 413123 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 414929 0 0.99560 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Party for Preserve 2025 21817 0 21817 0 0 802 0 0 21817 0 21817 0 0 802 0 0 0 802 21015 Part I, Line 16 SBA EIDL loan interest - $1471.96 Software & Technology - $3221.73 Bank fees - $446.39 Office Supplies - $202.48 Communications - $929.01 Part II, Line 26 We have an SBA EIDL loan that we make monthly payments on.
