Kenyan solar-powered irrigation solutions startup, SunCulture, has joined forces with leading mass-market insurtech company, Turaco, to launch a platform called “SunCulture Protect”, aimed at providing enhanced protection to small holder farmers using SunCulture’s pay-as-you-go devices.
According to Samir Ibrahim, the CEO of SunCulture, the partnership between two leading Kenyan tech companies will address the urgent need for risk mitigation tools, such as insurance, for the most vulnerable populations, enabling and expanding access to healthcare.
“As the impact from climate change escalates, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events are expected to rise, negatively affecting health outcomes and pushing millions of Africans into poverty,” Ibrahim said, reports African NewsWatch.
Ibrahim was quoted saying: “At SunCulture, our mission has always been to help small holder farmers grow more food and improve their livelihoods.”
He said partnering with Turaco allows the company to extend its commitment by not only providing sustainable energy solutions but also offering financial security and peace of mind to the customers and their families.
“SunCulture Protect offers essential health and life coverage, safeguarding customers and their families against unforeseen medical expenses and risks that are exacerbated by extreme weather events,” Ibrahim stated.
Ted Pantone, CEO of Turaco, who also commented on the partnership, said affordable insurance should be accessible to everyone, especially those that were the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
“Our partnership with SunCulture enables us to provide essential coverage that not only protects livelihoods but also fosters long-term resilience among small holder farmers,” he said.
