🌟 Monumental step in our journey at myUbuntu. 🌟 Under the shade of this tree in Zimbabwe, we onboarded our first farmers into our parametric insurance programme. This isn’t just about insurance—it’s about hope, dignity, and safeguarding livelihoods. For too long, farmers across Africa have borne the brunt of climate change with no safety net. Today, we take a stand to change that. Seeing this idea come to life was deeply emotional. These farmers are the backbone of Africa’s food system, and knowing that we can prevent a family from losing everything to drought or floods is a powerful reminder of why we do this. It’s a reminder that innovation isn’t just about technology—it’s about humanity. Together, we’re building a future where no farmer has to choose between starvation and survival. This is just the beginning, but what a beginning it is! Thank you to everyone who believed in this vision especially to Lloyd's Lab. Here’s to many more farmers protected, livelihoods saved, and dreams rebuilt.

🌍 #Africa has a potential to drive a green and digital renaissance 💻 In his weekly piece on The New Times (Rwanda), our co-founder JP Fabri argues that #Africa has the potential to drive a green and digital renaissance that could reshape its economic landscape. Sharing insights from a European Investment Bank (EIB) report, the article provides a roadmap for unlocking this potential by aligning investment strategies with the continent’s unique needs and opportunities. By focusing on #digitaltransformation, #climateresilience, and #sustainablefinance, Africa can build a more inclusive and prosperous future. However, this will require bold leadership, innovative thinking, and sustained commitment from both African nations and their global partners.

🚨 A Call to Action: Protecting Africa’s Farmers 🌱 Did you know that climate change could reduce crop yields in Sub-Saharan Africa by up to 30% by 2050? For the 200 million smallholder farmers who produce 80% of the region’s food, this is not just a statistic—it’s a looming crisis. 🌍 At myUbuntu, we are tackling this challenge head-on. Through parametric insurance, we’re providing a safety net for farmers, offering fast, automatic payouts triggered by weather events like droughts and floods. This means farmers can recover quickly, reinvest in their crops, and avoid falling into poverty. 🚀 Our journey at Lloyd's Lab has been pivotal in refining this solution. Collaborating with industry experts has helped us sharpen our approach, integrate innovative technologies, and build partnerships that will enable us to scale across Africa. Together, we’re creating an insurance model that not only protects farmers but empowers them to thrive. This is more than just insurance—it’s about securing livelihoods, strengthening food security, and building a resilient future for Africa. Join us in making this vision a reality. 🌾 #LloydsLab #myUbuntuInsurance #ParametricInsurance #ClimateResilience #Agritech #AfricanFarmers #ImpactInvesting JP Fabri Nicky Gouder Jack Bassett Nigel Daura Timon Halbach Mikir Shah Ilyas Ismail ACMA Mark Huxley FRSA Rupert Weterings Rupesh Appannah Allan Wishart Kieran Linger Leticia Boakye Danquah, ACII

🚜 Empowering #Farmers Through Innovative #Insurance Solutions 🌾 Did you know that half of smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan #Africa risk losing their entire crops every year due to #droughts, #floods, and other climate shocks? 🌧️ Yet, fewer than 3% have access to agricultural #insurance. This is a reality that keeps millions of families in a cycle of poverty and food insecurity. At myUbuntu , we are driven to change this. Through our journey with Lloyd's Lab, we have been working tirelessly to refine our parametric insurance solution that offers immediate payouts triggered by real-time weather data. 🌦️ This means farmers get the financial support they need exactly when they need it—without lengthy claims processes or red tape. 🚀 The support and insights from industry leaders at Lloyd’s Lab have been transformative, helping us sharpen our approach and form partnerships to scale our impact. Together, we’re building a future where every farmer can confidently invest in their crops, knowing they have a safety net in place. Join us in transforming agriculture and creating a resilient future for Africa’s farmers. 🌱💪🏾 #LloydsLab #myUbuntuInsurance #ParametricInsurance #Agritech #ClimateResilience #ImpactInvesting #AfricanFarmers Nicky Gouder JP Fabri Nigel Daura Jack Bassett Gabriele Villa Mikir Shah Ilyas Ismail ACMA Ciaran O'Donnell FCA Mark Huxley FRSA Timon Halbach Rupesh Appannah Rupert Weterings Jessie Callender Dan Kay Rebecca Kendrick Kieran Linger Chloe Kaye Hattie Armstrong Susanne Austin

In this week's opinion piece, our co-founder JP Fabri talks about #COP29, currently underway in Baku which once again brought the world’s attention to the urgent need for decisive action on #climatechange. As nations gather to discuss the future of our planet, African leaders, particularly Rwanda’s representatives, brought a powerful message to the table: #Africa is not just a victim of climate change but a proactive agent of change. With a focus on #resilience, #economictransformation, and innovative #financing, African nations have highlighted the path forward to ensure sustainable and inclusive growth in the face of escalating climate challenges. In this context, the role of #parametricinsurance was highlighted as a critical tool for disaster preparedness and economic stability. Unlike traditional insurance, which is based on loss assessments, parametric insurance provides immediate payouts when specific environmental conditions, such as rainfall levels or temperatures, are met.
