Weather-Triggered Payouts

Satellite rainfall data triggers automatic payouts when drought or excess rain hits. No claims forms, no loss assessors, no waiting.

💸

M-Pesa Instant Pay

🤝

Partner-Channel Cover

Join through your SACCO, cooperative or agro-dealer. Bulk enrolment, group pricing, and attribution that rewards your community.

🔒

Consent-First

Your data is yours. Credit-referral consent is separate and withdrawable. Sharing stops the moment you say so. Full audit trail.

🌱

Credit Bridge

Insured farmers get referred to SACCOs and AFC for credit — using their verified assets as collateral. We refer, never disburse.

How it works

Dial *384# on your phone

Select your county, crop or livestock type, and acreage. The menu is in Swahili and local languages.

Pay premium via M-Pesa

STK Push sends a payment prompt to your phone. Confirm with your M-Pesa PIN. Premiums start from KES 50 per season.

Get covered instantly

You receive an SMS confirmation with your policy number and coverage details. Your policy is active from the planting date.

Receive payouts automatically

If a weather trigger fires (drought, excess rain), the payout lands in your M-Pesa within 72 hours. No forms to fill.

Built for trust

"When the rains failed in 2025, my payout came before I'd even heard about it from my cooperative. I used it to buy seed for the next season."— Wanjiku, maize farmer, Kiambu
"We enrolled 800 members through our SACCO in one afternoon. Modela handled the bulk upload and every farmer got an SMS confirmation."— John, SACCO manager, Murang'a
