<strong>Aon</strong> domestic package<br />
insurance cover<br />
We all value the sanctity of our homes. It is one place<br />
we feel most safe and it is also the last place we<br />
envision suffering of any kind of loss or damage.<br />
What if a raging storm destroyed not only your<br />
perimeter wall but also the contents of your house<br />
or worse still a fire guts down all your worldly<br />
possessions.<br />
This is where the domestic package policy comes in<br />
handy. The domestic package policy is tailor-made to<br />
ensure that you are not rendered destitute in these<br />
circumstances.<br />
The household insurance policy covers loss or<br />
damage as a result of theft, burglary, fire and related<br />
perils to residential buildings, whether owned or<br />
rented.<br />
It incorporates the insured personal liability and<br />
that of their house hold members. The policy also<br />
covers the cost and expenses that the insured incurs<br />
in the event of death of or injury or disease to their<br />
domestic servant arising out of and in the course<br />
of their employment as defined in the Work Injury<br />
Benefits Act.<br />
<strong>Aon</strong> crop insurance cover<br />
Crop and livestock farming in Kenya are exposed to<br />
many challenges which make it difficult for a farmer<br />
to realize their expected harvest. Some of the<br />
challenges the farmers go through are the need to<br />
plant the right seeds at the right time and place and<br />
using the correct type of fertilizer. However, others<br />
such as changes in weather patterns, excessive rainfall<br />
and drought, earthquakes, diseases, damage by wild<br />
animals, malicious damage, pests, death of animals<br />
etc. are beyond the control of farmers.<br />
In many instances, farmers do require credit from<br />
financial institutions so as to be able to buy farm<br />
input such as seeds, fertilizers, chemicals and farm<br />
implements among others. Farmers also need to buy<br />
chemicals, drugs, construction materials and the<br />
like. Financial institutions however, are not willing to<br />
avail credit to farmers unless they are assured that<br />
the farmer will be able to pay back the money even<br />
in the event of poor returns. Availability of insurance<br />
protection enhances loan repayment as the farmer<br />
is assured of repaying the credit using the amount<br />
paid in by the insurance company. Arrangements<br />
could also be made for the claim proceeds to be paid<br />
directly to the financial institution that extended<br />
credit to clear the outstanding amounts<br />
