In Kenya’s sunbaked plains, livestock farmers know all too well how drought can wipe out months of hard work. But thanks to Danton Kipkurui, a Nairobi-based engineer at Huawei, there’s a new tech hero: Wise AI! 🎉
Growing up, Danton watched drought devastate communities and kill cattle – a sight that stuck with him. In 2022, he teamed up with friends to launch Wise AI, an application that fuses cutting-edge tech to protect herds:
- IoT sensors placed on grazing land
- Satellite imagery tracking water sources
- Real-time weather forecasts 🚀
With instant mobile alerts, farmers can see exactly where their cattle roam and plan moves before the land dries up. No more guesswork, no more heartbreak! ❤️🩹
Wise AI’s impact goes beyond Kenya. Imagine similar apps helping rural communities in India, Bangladesh or Indonesia deal with unpredictable monsoons and water shortages. Tech like this proves innovation can bridge gaps between data and daily life.
Danton says his invention shows one simple truth: when technology meets purpose, lives and livelihoods are saved. And that’s a game-changer for farmers everywhere. 🌟
