At Newman’s, our commitment to quality extends beyond our delicious snacks, it’s also a commitment to the environment and the future of Uganda. That’s why we are incredibly proud of our ongoing partnership with the Uganda Wildlife Education Center (UWEC) to champion wildlife conservation and education in schools and communities across Uganda.

We believe that conservation starts with education. Through this two-year partnership that started in 2024, Newman’s has invested Shs 48 million in financial support and materials to help UWEC roll out its critical conservation outreach program.

This program directly engages thousands of young people across regions like Kyenjojo, Mbale, and Kigezi, positioning them as the next generation of conservation stewards.

A core focus of the outreach is teaching learners the benefits of conserving the environment, including:

• Waste Management: We are providing dustbins to schools and educating students on proper disposal, ensuring that once they finish their snack, the waste goes into the bin, not onto the ground.

As Newman’s Commercial Manager, Rosette Najjemba Ssegujja, noted, this initiative is essential for training students that “when you finish to eat you don’t litter waste but instead put it into the dustbin hence conserving the environment.”

We believe in the power of collaboration. With a two-year commitment in place, we will continue our joint efforts with UWEC and NEMA to ensure conservation is not just taught, but lived—creating a future where both our communities and our wildlife can flourish.

We believe that every individual choice contributes to the health of our planet. Just as we are working to inspire conservation ethics in schools, we encourage you to join the movement by practicing sustainability in your daily life:

• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Always look for the proper bin for your Newman’s snack wrappers and other waste, and educate those around you on responsible disposal.
• Support Mission-Driven Brands: Whenever possible, choose brands that demonstrate a clear commitment to environmental preservation and the well-being of the next generation through their actions and investments.
• Spread the Word: Talk to your children, family, and colleagues about the importance of protecting Uganda’s incredible wildlife and biodiversity.

Together, we can be great partners of our planet
