At Newman’s, our mission is rooted in a deep commitment to the health and well-being of the communities we serve. When the call to save the future generation comes, we cannot sit back.
Caring for our customers is about creating a safer, healthier society. That is why we are proud to stand with incredible organizations in the fight against a major challenge facing our youth: substance misuse.
The issue of drug and substance abuse among young people in Uganda is a growing public health concern. This challenge often links directly to mental health struggles, high school dropout rates, and risky behaviors, threatening the future potential of the next generation.
In response to this urgent crisis, Newman’s actively engages in multi-partner initiatives to support youth mental and physical wellness. Our involvement is a strategic commitment to the whole person, ensuring that young people are inspired to channel their energy into positive, constructive activities instead of destructive patterns. A healthy customer and a thriving community are our ultimate desire.
Through a strategic partnership with incredible organizations such as Mirinda Uganda, Teenz Kulture, XFM and many others, we are proud to add our voice and support in driving positive change.
Together, we are shaping a brighter tomorrow for the youth.
If you or someone you know is struggling with substance misuse, whether you are a student, a young professional, or anyone in the community, please reach out for help.
We want you to know that reaching out is a sign of immense strength, not weakness.
Take that brave first step today.
