Sarah’s story isn’t just about survival; it’s about the power of timely data to change the course of a season.
The Rift Valley is known for its fertility, but climate change has made its rainy seasons unpredictable. Last October, the rains arrived late and vanished early. For most farmers, this meant a total loss.
Resilience in Action
Because Sarah was insured through Fidesagro, she didn't have to wait for a government surveyor to visit her farm. Our satellite monitoring system detected the drought conditions in real-time. Within 72 hours of the index being triggered, Sarah received a mobile money payout.
She didn't use the money for consumption. Instead, she immediately purchased drought-resistant, early-maturing seeds. While her neighbors’ fields remained barren, Sarah’s farm bloomed.
