AI Detected Kenya's 2023 Drought
2 Months Before It Peaked

Our drought prediction model identified a major humanitarian crisis across Kenya's Arid and Semi-Arid Lands before 2.5 million livestock perished and $500M in economic losses were realized — proving that AI early warning saves lives and livelihoods.
