I showed some of my friends the app and they did not believe it was telling the truth. I dared them to go with me and they were surprised how accurately the map depicted the situation at the ground. Now they believe in the power of AfriScout.

When herders are disturbed by wild animals or their property destroyed by elephants, they post the predator alert on the AfriScout app and the Kenya Wildlife Service takes immediate action to prevent any loss and further conflict.

I saw several alerts on AfriScout about the contagious ecthyma disease in my area. I mobilized the leaders to help vaccinate our animals. Over 90,000 livestock were vaccinated thus safeguarding our herd from falling sick or dying.

The AfriScout app helps pastoralists to search for water, pasture and better places for migration right from home using their smartphones. This has reduced the interference of young schoolboys’ education who previously used to scout for water and pasture.

AfriScout alerts help me detect areas influenced by drought so that I can request the government to support and provide for residents’ basic needs.

One day while I was looking after my goats, a friend posted an alert concerning the presence of hyenas in the field where my herd was. I was able to quickly change my direction and secure my goats.
