Earth intelligence · Kenya

Drought risk, read from orbit.

Satellite-based risk intelligence for Kenya’s arid and semi-arid lands, for organisations that need to act before conditions are visible on the ground.

Approach

Drought develops for months before it is declared. The early evidence is visible from space.

01 · Observe

Satellite signals

Vegetation condition, land-surface heat and rainfall, monitored across every region.

02 · Assess

Local context

Each region is measured against its own seasonal record, then weighed against the people and livelihoods exposed.

03 · Advise

Clear decisions

A risk level and recommended action for every region, every month, with an outlook for the months ahead.

Outputs

One assessment, shaped to how each team works.

Delivery adapts to the people and systems using it, and grows as our method develops.
