Who We Are

An agency built for the realities of farming in Kenya.

We understand the unique risks of farming and livestock keeping — drought, disease, market volatility, and the losses that follow. Our purpose is simple: ensure that when the unexpected happens, our clients do not lose everything they have worked for.

The Problem We Solve

Kenya's agricultural sector faces existential threats.

Between 2020 and 2022, the worst drought in 40 years cost Kenya an estimated 2.5 million livestock, with another 2.6 million dying through early 2023. Agriculture contributes ~33% of Kenya's GDP and employs over 70% of rural Kenyans — yet less than 1% of farmers hold any form of insurance.

The challenge is not just the weather. It is the near-total absence of accessible, affordable, clearly explained insurance at the grassroots level. Kapri was built specifically to bridge this gap.
