Determined to Insure
20 Million Farmers
myUbuntu was founded with a bold mission: to transform agricultural insurance in Africa and empower farmers to thrive, whatever the climate may bring.
As climate change intensifies, smallholder farmers – the backbone of Africa’s food system – face increasing uncertainty. Insurance should be their safety net, but affordability, accessibility, and trust have kept many farmers uninsured.
Through our journey, from being selected for Lloyd’s Lab to launching our pilot project in Zimbabwe, we have built solutions that are not only innovative but deeply rooted in the needs of African farmers. Our mission is clear: to insure 20 million farmers by 2030, creating a ripple effect of resilience across the continent.
