As the UN marks its 80th anniversary, Kenyan engineer Danton Kipkurui is showing how tech meets tradition for a cause that hits home: saving cattle during drought. 🐄🌍
From Drought Memories to High-Tech Solutions
Growing up in Kenya, Kipkurui saw herds struggle under scorching skies and communities lose their lifeline. Those memories sparked an idea: what if smart tech could give farmers a fighting chance?
Meet Wise AI: Your Herd's New Best Friend
Launched in 2022, Wise AI blends IoT sensors, satellite imagery, and weather forecasts into one powerful app. Farmers can track where their cattle roam, predict drought hotspots, and plan moves before disaster strikes. It's like a weather app on steroids—built for the herd. 📡☀️
Tech That Saves Lives and Livelihoods
Kipkurui, who works on sustainable energy projects at Huawei in Nairobi, believes Wise AI proves technology can protect livestock and boost community resilience. With every herd saved, lives and traditions endure.
In a world facing climate challenges, this homegrown innovation reminds us: AI isn't just futuristic—it's here, it's practical, and it's making a real impact. 💪🌱
