APA Insurance in partnership with IFC Unveils APA SHEild Programme to Enhance Financial Well-Being for Kenyan Women

APA Insurance and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) have launched a program called APA SHEild to increase access to affordable financial products for women in Kenya. The program focuses on health, wellness, personal wealth, and savings insurance, and will provide workshops and webinars to equip women with knowledge and tools to support their personal and professional financial development and security. The program aims to improve the well-being and livelihoods of Kenyan women, contributing to the country's social and economic development. According to the World Bank, 31% of Kenyan households are women-headed, making women more vulnerable to physical and financial shocks. Insurance and financial guidance can support women to protect themselves, their families, communities, and society.

APA has developed a range of women-centric non-life and life insurance solutions, including health, wellness, wealth, and protection, as well as additional value-added products and services. The program includes a Women's Cancer Care Programme called 'APA Femina Plus', which offers regular screenings and HPV vaccinations for breast and cervical cancer, as well as a cash benefit in the event of a positive diagnosis.

The partnership between APA Insurance and YuBuntu aims to create an innovative, total wellness solution exclusively for women, making a tangible and measurable impact on the lives of women and girls in Kenya.

The Act was passed unanimously by the Nairobi City County Assembly, influenced by public participation and input. Key highlights of the Act include increased charges, reduced charges, and environmental issues.
