Empowering Farmers, Transforming Communities
Read on to discover a game-changing innovation that's revolutionizing food preservation and empowering communities in rural Nigeria.
โ Written by Shayna Berglas
ColdHubs empower farmers by providing them with a safe and reliable solution to store their harvests. With the ability to extend shelf life and reduce spoilage by up to 80%, farmers gain greater control over their produce. This translates to increased incomes, improved food security, and empowered livelihoods for communities.
Harnessing the Power of the Sun
What sets ColdHubs apart is their sustainable approach. Operating entirely on solar power, these cold storage units are not only environmentally friendly but also cost-effective and accessible, even in remote areas with limited infrastructure. By harnessing the power of the sun, ColdHubs are proving that climate-friendly solutions can drive positive change.
Behind ColdHubs is the visionary mind of Nnaemeka Ikegwuonuโa farmer turned innovator, whose journey from radio broadcaster to entrepreneur is nothing short of inspiring. With a deep understanding of the struggles faced by his community, Ikegwuonu embarked on a mission to create a solution that would empower farmers and transform lives.
Presented by King Philanthropies, investing at the intersection of fighting climate change and improving livelihoods.
