Why are children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) being denied health & life insurance coverage despite families paying premiums and needing support the most? Rare disease families already fight every day for treatment, mobility, education, and survival. Insurance rejection adds another burden. Requesting @irdaindia to review policies related to genetic and rare diseases like DMD and ensure fair, non-discriminatory coverage. A child should not lose insurance support because of a medical condition they were born with.

Today, our Chief Programs Officer, Agnès Uwanyiligira, participated in the ZEP-RE Annual Meetings in #Kigali, where she joined a panel discussion on ““𝑰𝒏𝒄𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑰𝒏𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑳𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒔, 𝑩𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔.” Agnès highlighted that bundling insurance with other financial products can drive inclusive insurance and resilience, but this is effective only when solutions are designed around customers’ needs. She underscored three key system enablers for scaling bundled insurance solutions: 🔹Intentional customer-centricity across the insurance value chain 🔹Strong partnerships with aligned goals and incentives 🔹Enhanced insurance data and infrastructure that enables seamless integration for scale She said that integrating insurance into the broader financial system and other infrastructure can be a game-changer for resilience, provided that customer centricity is at the heart of insurance models. #InclusiveInsurance #FinancialInclusion

#AgricultureInsuranceWorks Today, we conclude our #ClaimsInAction series with a spotlight on the Karamoja sub-region. Together with our partners, we supported the rollout of agriculture insurance across Karamoja to strengthen farmer resilience and improve risk management within farming systems. 📍 Working across both Northern and Southern Karamoja: ✅ Farmer groups were enrolled into insurance ✅ Farmers were trained on how the cover works ✅ Continuous support and sensitization were provided throughout the season When adverse weather shocks occurred, insured farmers received claim payouts, providing timely financial relief that helped them recover and continue production. Beyond payouts, regular refresher trainings and sensitization sessions helped farmers better understand: 🔹 How insurance works 🔹 Their role in the process 🔹 How the overall system is structured This continuous engagement has played an important role in strengthening trust, transparency, and participation. One of the clearest indicators of impact has been the strong rate of policy renewals across the sub-region ,a growing sign of confidence in agriculture insurance as a practical risk management tool. 📊 With over 1,000 farmers insured across the Karamoja rollout, we are witnessing a clear shift, From vulnerability to preparedness. From uncertainty to structured resilience through insurance 🫱🏿‍🫲🏾 This is exactly why we exist ,to build resilience for farmers across Uganda. #ClaimsInAction #AgricultureInsurance #Karamoja #FarmerResilience #ClimateRisk #UAIS #InclusiveInsurance #Agriculture #Uganda
