What KaLI is

A second opinion on every loan, grounded in the field.

Branch officers in rural Kenya juggle thin files and weather they can't predict. KaLI gives them four lenses, all in one screen.

USSD-first onboarding

Farmers register on any feature phone via *483#. No smartphone, no data plan, no branch visit required.

01

Cooperative & chama signals

Delivery history with the local cooperative and chama savings discipline replace traditional collateral.

02

Live climate scoring

CHIRPS rainfall, ICPAC SPI drought index, and KALRO pest proximity feeds adjust risk in real time.

03

Explainable decisions

Every score shows its drivers and drags. Officers can override with a written rationale — fully audited.

04
How it works

From feature phone to disbursement, in four moves.

See a live portfolio
01

Farmer dials *483#

Picks crop, requests amount, consents to data sharing.

02

Signals stream in

Co-op deliveries, M-Pesa inflows, climate grids merge into one profile.

03

Officer reviews

Scorecard explains the number. Approve, refer, or decline in one tap.

04

SMS goes out

Decision and climate advisories reach the farmer in their language.

Why it matters

We don't bucket Women, Youth, PWD and General into one queue.

KaLI segments applicants so branch decisions can be audited for equity — and asset-substitute rules ensure a farmer without a title deed but with three years of co-op deliveries still qualifies.

Auditable
Every override carries a reason and a timestamp.
Fair-by-design
Asset substitutes for landless smallholders.
M-Pesa-aware
Real cashflow, not just declared income.
Pest-aware
Outbreaks within 25km warn the officer instantly.
