aplica\u00e7\u00e3o NutriGrab foi o marco mais significativo do per\u00edodo. Ap\u00f3s tr\u00eas meses de verifica\u00e7\u00e3o e testes na Google Play Store, foi lan\u00e7ada \u2014 uma plataforma concebida para ligar os agricultores a mercados justos, dar-lhes acesso a equipamentos atrav\u00e9s de aluguer ou pagamentos parcelados, e redistribuir alimentos pr\u00f3ximos do prazo de validade dos supermercados para fam\u00edlias de baixo rendimento a metade do pre\u00e7o ou gratuitamente. Quinze agricultores participaram no projeto piloto. A infraestrutura que a aplica\u00e7\u00e3o procurava construir \u2014 acesso fi\u00e1vel ao mercado, equipamentos acess\u00edveis e redu\u00e7\u00e3o do desperd\u00edcio alimentar \u2014 era uma infraestrutura que o sistema agr\u00edcola do Uganda ainda n\u00e3o tinha conseguido fornecer de forma consistente. Esse era precisamente o objetivo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No terreno, uma campanha de cinco dias em seis distritos formou agricultores na produ\u00e7\u00e3o de fertilizantes org\u00e2nicos a partir dos seus pr\u00f3prios res\u00edduos. Foram criadas tr\u00eas unidades comunit\u00e1rias de cria\u00e7\u00e3o de mosca-soldado-negra, atualmente a apoiar mais de 400 agricultores. Um programa de recolha de res\u00edduos alimentares incentivou fam\u00edlias a trocar desperd\u00edcio por produtos repelentes, tornando a sustentabilidade pr\u00e1tica e imediata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Para al\u00e9m do Uganda, Jovia passou por uma sequ\u00eancia not\u00e1vel de plataformas nos seis meses ap\u00f3s a sua vit\u00f3ria. A Vital Voices Global Fellowship. O One Young World Summit em Montreal, onde discursou. O Youth Business International Bootcamp em Londres. Os Moonshot Awards, onde foi reconhecida como agente de mudan\u00e7a. O pr\u00e9mio Tony Elumelu de Empreendedorismo. Um lugar no Comit\u00e9 de Refer\u00eancia da Juventude da Uni\u00e3o Africana, onde agora defende a a\u00e7\u00e3o clim\u00e1tica liderada por jovens e a igualdade de g\u00e9nero. O reconhecimento estava a chegar rapidamente \u2014 e ela utilizava cada plataforma para expandir a rede da Ecobed, em vez de apenas acumular credenciais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"789\" data-id=\"3121\" src=\"https:\/\/peakanddale.co.ke\/value4her\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2024-Jovia-Kisaakye-1-1024x789.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peakanddale.co.ke\/value4her\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2024-Jovia-Kisaakye-1-1024x789.webp 1024w, https:\/\/peakanddale.co.ke\/value4her\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2024-Jovia-Kisaakye-1-300x231.webp 300w, https:\/\/peakanddale.co.ke\/value4her\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2024-Jovia-Kisaakye-1-768x591.webp 768w, https:\/\/peakanddale.co.ke\/value4her\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2024-Jovia-Kisaakye-1-1536x1183.webp 1536w, https:\/\/peakanddale.co.ke\/value4her\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2024-Jovia-Kisaakye-1-2048x1577.webp 2048w, https:\/\/peakanddale.co.ke\/value4her\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2024-Jovia-Kisaakye-1-16x12.webp 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"3120\" src=\"https:\/\/peakanddale.co.ke\/value4her\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2024-Jovia-Kisaakye-3-1024x768.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peakanddale.co.ke\/value4her\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2024-Jovia-Kisaakye-3-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/peakanddale.co.ke\/value4her\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2024-Jovia-Kisaakye-3-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/peakanddale.co.ke\/value4her\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2024-Jovia-Kisaakye-3-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/peakanddale.co.ke\/value4her\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2024-Jovia-Kisaakye-3-1536x1152.webp 1536w, https:\/\/peakanddale.co.ke\/value4her\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2024-Jovia-Kisaakye-3-16x12.webp 16w, https:\/\/peakanddale.co.ke\/value4her\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2024-Jovia-Kisaakye-3.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Uma equipa mais enxuta, uma aplica\u00e7\u00e3o funcional, seis distritos alcan\u00e7ados, tr\u00eas explora\u00e7\u00f5es comunit\u00e1rias estabelecidas \u2014 e uma fundadora que v\u00ea valor onde outros veem desperd\u00edcio.
