A team from YouSave and TrigaCash in Honiara is currently touring parts of Malaita Province this week to share significant talks and raise awareness about their climate risk insurance and financial inclusion initiative.
The money-saving scheme aims to empower families and communities with accessible financial services, protection, and opportunities for a more resilient future.
According to the team, they hosted the awareness event in Auki and the Lilisiana community earlier this week and have moved to North Malaita.
“Thank you to everyone who attended and participated in the discussion as we continue working together to build stronger and more climate-resilient communities across Malaita.
“TrigaCash is a climate-risk parametric insurance product that provides automatic payouts based on verified weather data, without the need for traditional claims processes.
“It can also help to protect farmers, fishers, and micro, small, and medium businesses from climate risk events such as heavy rainfall, drought, and strong winds,” the team said.
Island Sun understands that the registration of any interested individuals for membership in the scheme is $50.
The outreach was supported through a strong partnership between the Solomon Islands National Provident Fund, YouSave, Transpacific Assurance Limited, M-SELEN, and World Vision Solomon Islands.
