Since its launch in 2021, the inclusive and solidarity micro-insurance « INES »  (Insurance Net for Smallholders) has proven to be much more than just a project. It’s an ongoing mission to empower women shea collectors by providing them access to a protection system that covers 2 essential aspects:

🏥 Health insurance: safeguards against injuries, disabilities and deaths, while also covering medical expenses, including transportation to healthcare facilities.

🌱 Climate insurance: indemnifies producers for crop losses caused by adverse weather conditions, such as drought.

With nearly 15,000 rural women covered in over 200 villages, we’ve already made significant strides, just two years after the launch of this initiative! This success is the result of a close collaboration with our client, L’Oréal as well as with AXA and our local partner SONAR BF.

➡️ Our goal for 2025 is even more ambitious, as we aim to extend the reach of INES and cover 40,000 women.

Today, on the occasion of the International Rural Women Day, let’s recognize their resilience and work together to empower and improve rural communities’ living conditions.
