Protecting Rural Families in Burundi through Microinsurance | Cordaid

In Burundi, most people rely on farming as their primary source of income. These small-scale farmers are vital to the country’s food security, yet their lives are precarious. A season of drought, heavy rains, or illness can wipe out their income. Faced with crises, many families are forced to sell livestock, tools or other assets, plunging them further into poverty and undermining efforts to build stability. Through the PADFIR project, Cordaid has introduced a range of microinsurance schemes designed to protect rural families from financial shocks. These include agricultural insurance, health and funeral coverages, and savings plans, all bundled into affordable packages for farming communities. --- Cordaid is an internationally operating emergency relief and development organisation, working in and on fragility. www.cordaid.org/en Facebook: cordaidEN Twitter: @cordaid Instagram: @cordaid_international LinkedIn: company/cordaid
