🌟 Celebrating Jamhuri Day and Pula's Journey in Kenya! 🇰🇪🌟 As Kenya marks Jamhuri Day, a celebration of independence and progress, we at Pula reflect on the incredible milestones achieved in partnership with Kenyan farmers, governments, and stakeholders. While 2025 will mark 10 years of Pula, our journey in Kenya has already been transformational. This year, we achieved key milestones that solidify our commitment to building resilience and empowering smallholder farmers: ✅ Launch of an International Insurance Facility: Aiming to insure 200,000 Kenyan smallholder farmers against climate risks, with an ambitious goal to scale to 3.5 million farmers, supported by the Lemonade Foundation ✅ Launch of Human-Wildlife Conflict Pilot Initiative: Tackling over 6,000 conflict cases annually in six counties, and distribute the first payout to communities affected by climate-driven wildlife challenges Kenya has always been a cornerstone of Pula’s mission to build climate resilience and support farmers in securing their livelihoods. Here's to continuing this incredible journey together. Happy Jamhuri Day, Kenya! 🌍👩🏾🌾👨🏽🌾 #JamhuriDay #Kenya #PulaJourney #ClimateResilience #AgriculturalInsurance #Sustainability

🌾 Kicking off the Crop Cutting Experiment (CCE) Process in West and East Africa🌾 We’re starting our CCE in Nigeria, Malawi, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Ethiopia! CCE is a critical step in ensuring accurate yield assessments and building climate resilience. By randomly selecting plots and carefully harvesting, drying, and weighing crops, we generate reliable data to evaluate agricultural productivity. This data underpins the effectiveness of agricultural insurance solutions like Area Yield Index Insurance, ensuring fair payouts to farmers when losses occur. Why is it Important?  ✔️ Accurate Compensation:Farmers receive fair payouts based on real yield losses, reducing financial distress during challenging seasons ✔️ Data-Driven Decision Making:CCE empowers farmers, governments, and insurers with actionable insights to plan better and invest wisely ✔️ Strengthened Farmer Trust:By basing insurance payouts on transparent and verifiable data, CCE builds confidence among farming communities. ✔️ Climate Resilience:Reliable yield data enables targeted interventions to mitigate the impact of climate risks. Through these efforts, Pula is enhancing farmer livelihoods and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. 🌍👩🏾🌾👨🏽🌾 Thank you, Pula team who made this happened Dagmawi Haileyesus Assefa Bersabeh Assefa Faith Mumbi Kinuthia, BBA, MSC, PhD (c) Strategic Management Mesfin Wondwosen (MBA, BSC) Yohannes Teshome Takele Johannes Rob Awegechew Yeabsira Tilahun Nicholas Ochola William Mdemu Lindiwe Karim #AgriculturalInsurance #CropCuttingExperiment #ClimateResilience #SmallholderFarmers #DataDrivenFarming #Pula

What’s the best way to learn about Pula’s business? By getting our hands dirty! Recently, our new team members embarked on a field visit to Nakuru, Kenya, where they engaged directly with farmers and witnessed the impact of our work firsthand. The visit involved activities such as visiting selected sample plots, measuring and placing boxes, and assessing yields to evaluate productivity. Initiatives like these deepen our connection to our mission and reinforce our commitment to delivering impactful solutions that help small-scale farmers build resilience and secure their futures. 🌾

☕ We are proud to share our Coffee Farmer Registration Initiative in Uganda! Spearheaded by the Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) and supported by aBi - Agricultural Business Initiative, this initiative is driving traceability, improving farming practices, and aligning with the European Union’s anti-Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). We registered 220,000+ coffee farmers and 250,000+ farms in 3 weeks, securing their access to the European market. This initiative is setting Uganda’s coffee sector on a path to long-term resilience and compliance with international standards! #Sustainability #CoffeeSector #EUDR #Traceability #aBiDevelopment #UgandaCoffee #SmallholderFarmers #ClimateResilience

🌍🌾 Strengthening Community Resilience: Insights from Our Learning Mission We’re excited to share the success of our recent learning trip to Kenya, where Mozambican stakeholders had the opportunity to deepen their understanding of Area Yield Index Insurance (AYII) and its transformative impact on rural farming communities. Pula collaborates with Feed the Future RESINA, focused on promoting community resilience by building the capacity of relevant Mozambican public sector stakeholders, insurance providers, and farming communities to prepare for, respond to, and recover from environmental shocks such as drought, crop pests, and diseases. Key Highlights  1️⃣ Capacity Building Through Workshops 2️⃣ Collaborative Learning with Kenyan Ecosystem Players 3️⃣ Experience Crop Cut Experiment (CCE) to learn the importance of accurate and consistent yield monitoring A big thank you to all partners and employees who made this possible!

Special Thanks to Our Speakers and Partner: Morton Mwanza, Ministry of Agriculture Zambia Jacobeth Barno, World Food Programme Dagmawi Haileyesus Assefa Thank you to everyone who joined us and to all our partners who made this session happened! #COP29 #ZambiaPavillion #ClimateResilience #AgriculturalInsurance #Pula #SmallholderFarmers #FoodSecurity #SustainableAgriculture

🌍🌱 Climate Risk Insurance and Resilience in Africa: Insights from COP29 Thanks you the invitation of The African Climate Foundation and Krutham, we had the honor of contributing to the critical conversation on Climate Risk Insurance and Resilience in Africa during the session, "Using Insurance to Manage Climate Risk in Kenya, Malawi, and South Africa." Key Highlights from the Event for those who missed it! Insurance as a Climate Solution: By transferring risk, insurance empowers farmers to recover more quickly from climate shocks, stabilizing rural economies and ensuring food security The Role of Technology: Data-driven solutions, such as satellite monitoring, GPS mapping, and digital platforms can enhance the accuracy and efficiency of climate insurance programs. These innovations ensure timely payouts and strengthen the trust between insurers and farmers Gender Inclusion in Climate Insurance: Women smallholder farmers, who are often most affected by climate risks, stand to benefit significantly from tailored insurance solutions Collaboration is Key: It is importance to partner between governments, development organizations, insurers, and the private sector to achieve the best outcome. The event served as a reminder that climate risk insurance is not just a financial tool—it’s a lifeline for communities on the frontlines of climate change. By sharing lessons and scaling best practices, we can continue to build a resilient future for Africa’s agricultural sector. Thank you to the incredible panelists and attendees for such a rich and impactful discussion. Iva Detelinova Cecilia Schultz Sinja Buri Butch Bacani Amy Barnes Dagmawi Haileyesus Assefa #COP29 #ClimateRiskInsurance #Pula #ResilienceInAgriculture #SustainableDevelopment #SmallholderFarmers #ClimateResilience
