OUR STORY, TOLD DIFFERENTLY
Challenges facing Small-holder Dairy Farming in Africa
THESE ARE THE PROBLEMS WE ARE WORKING WITH FARMERS TO SOLVE

01

Late or missed diagnoses

Livestock diseases are often caught too late, after devastating losses. Our AI diagnostic tools, validated by qualified lab technicians and veterinary doctors on-site, catch illness early and accurately.

02

Vaccine cold chain gaps

Vaccines frequently expire or lose potency before reaching remote farmers. Our satellite labs ensure end-to-end distribution, ensuring every dose is safe, timely, and correctly administered.

03

Lack of Financial and Insurance Safety Nets

Farmers with healthy livestock deserve access to credit, but lenders have no way to verify animal health. Our digital health certificates become the farmer's key to unlocking livestock-backed agri-financing and insurance products

04

No access to qualified vets

Most rural farmers have never had a vet examine their animals. Every Cherehani lab has a qualified veterinary doctor and trained lab technicians, right in their community, not hours away.

05

Fragmented, unreliable care

Farmers often receive treatment from local vets without a prior diagnosis, guesswork that wastes money and worsens outcomes. We don't replace local vets; we work alongside them. Our labs provide the test results and health data that local vets need to treat animals correctly

06

Reactive instead of preventive care

Farmers typically seek help only when animals are critically ill — often too late. By placing certified labs close to farming communities, we lower the barrier to testing so farmers come in early. Couple that with health certificates required for credit, and farmers have a real incentive to monitor their animals regularly, before a crisis hits.
